NAROOMA OYSTER FESTIVAL

What an awesome day we had at the Narooma Oyster Festival. As the name would suggest, it was a day all about food - particularly oysters and other local produce. There were cooking demonstrations and food stalls galore. Special guest chef was Julie - first winner of Masterchef. She was so nice - just a regular mum - and was quite happy to have a photo taken with the boys. There was also live music, dragon boat races, jumping castles, and a guy who did a really cool sand sculpture of a dragon. One of the highlights of the day was the putting competition - first prize $20,000. Darren made it to the final, and then had to sink a 10ft putt, followed by a 30ft putt, then a 50ft putt to win the money. The putting surface was pieces of carpet joined together with black tape, so it was highly unlikely anyone would make it. Out of the 10 people in the final, Darren was the only one to sink the first putt. The crowd was right behind him, but the 30ft putt proved too difficult. It was a bit of excitement for us all anyway.

The weather was absolutely beautiful for the Oyster Festival, but the few days leading up to that it's been quite cold and very windy at times. At least there's been no rain.

A couple of days ago, we went for a walk along the boardwalk in Narooma. We saw a seal and a huge stingray right near the edge of the water. It was amazing! Some of the locals told us they're almost always there.

I wanted to share a couple of my favourite photos from our time in Narooma/Dalmeny. Tara looks almost lost on the beach all by herself. I can't believe how many photos I've taken since we began our travels. By the time we finish I will have thousands of photos. I promise all my friends, I won't make you sit through slide nights to see them all!
We are planning to leave here Tuesday morning and head to Berry.
