We hitched up again and headed on down the coast via Bermagui and stopped at Tathra to explore. Left our home parked beachside and decided to walk up and take a look at the wharf. Whew - needed the workout up the cliff track and down to the historic sea wharf. Built in 1862 to provide cargo and passengers as the main means of transport from the Bega Valley areas to Sydney. 1954 saw the last cargo ship (SS Cabargo) use the wharf.

The wharf is only used for recreation fishing and has a cafe on lower level.

Needed some sustenance before the walk back to the beach so stopped at the historical hotel for a bistro meal. Yum. Red wine, steak, bacon and mushroom pie and salt and peppered calamari before heading into Bega to park beside the river for the night. Driving in was delightful - confetti of yellow willow leaves falling from the tree-lined street. Just beautiful. How I love autumn. Crisp days and colourful leaves. Glad I don't have to clean the leaves up!!
