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.
Despite the constant wet weather, there were some mornings where we could walk and get in a swim. The walk to Pretty Beach south, over the headland, is littered with native flowers and the rock platforms are a spectacular sight.
While staying near Ulladulla, we attended the memorial service for our dear friend, Theo Chalmers. It was a privilege. The following day we enjoy lunch with Bob and Sue, who had also come to Theo’s service.
This pretty rock headland is about three and a half hours’ drive south. You can walk from the van park to the beach to the south, or to the bay on the north side. Stingrays visit the bay and will take food straight from your hand!
