Tahlee is only 2 hours north of Sydney and is a serene and picturesque campsite. Its history began in 1880 and is part of YWAM, an interdenominational Christian organization.
Camping by the water, we enjoyed the bird life, sunset and walks along the shoreline. The massive trees and wild bush felt like we had stepped back in time.
Seven weeks ago our car broke down half an hour from home, as we started to travel north. Finally, repaired with a brand new motor , we started again…….successfully.
Such a great disappointment! We were only 25 minutes into our trip north when the car had a major problem. With great assistance by NSW transport we were moved to a safe location. Ford (NRMA) Roadside assistance couldn’t diagnose the problem & so the car had to be towed to the nearest Ford dealership. Our dear friends Mal & Kathy picked us and the van up and drove us back home.
Due to closure of Long Plain Hut campground we chose Yarrangobilly Village. Being a short distance from Three Mile Dam we pulled up and had morning tea. The weather forecast for the next 5 days was for rain/showers… not pleasant for walks or an evening fire. Instead of “tuffing it out” we departed for home.
Our next camp site was to be Long Plain Hut (near Yarrongabilly) but unfortunately the area was closed for maintenance which included trimming trees. We chose Three Mile Dam (west side) for an over night stopover instead. Selwyn Snow Resort is about 3km away.
Lovely peaceful location & we are the only campers here…
This is a lesser known camping area in Koscciuszko National Park, not far from Kiandra. We could walk 500 meters to the bank of the Eucumbene River, north west of the Eucumbene Dam. There were walking trails, many kangaroos, bird life and glorious bush and mountain views.

This National Park Campground is one of the best coastal we have visited. What a difference… warmer temperatures and sunny weather. Have we finally left the wet weather behind?
Damaged stabiliser leg following harsh dirt road travel in NT & WA last year. Temporary fix with the assistance of our camping neighbour.
Our morning walks provided stunning coastline.
Morning bird songs…
After a morning walk and strong gusting southerly winds we decided to tour around Tathra.
The weather was generally rainy and cold , so we made most of the opportunities between showers to look around our camp at Mystery Bay, Narooma to the north and Tilba to the south.
Tilba is a quaint, historic and popular tourist village boasting dairy produce, a bakery, sweet shop, galleries and more.
This is a peaceful scenic campground, where we’re could swim in the tidal creek or cross it, to dive into the surf. Fishing for salmon and flathead seems to be popular.
