OUR LOCAL TIPS 

• Our favourite picnic spot is the Wagonga picnic Area on the Wagonga Scenic Drive at the back of the Wagonga Inlet - the blue wrens hang around to get your crumbs.
• Do the Wagonga Scenic Drive, it is a lovely drive through some rainforest areas.
• There are some great walks -an easy nature walk is the walk by Dalmeny's Mummaga Lake, accessed from the Highway just north of the Dalmeny turn off and a challenging minimum four hour walk is Mt Dromedary, with a primordial rainforest near the summit.
• We like swimming at Kianga beach but it is not patrolled. The main Narooma beach near the golf course is patrolled during the season.
• There is a very safe swimming area with a shark proof net, just inside the bar. It is accessed through the Apex car park near the boat launching ramp on the north side of the inlet.
• John's favourite fishing hole is off any of the beaches. Some good ones are 1080 & out of Mystery Bay and are nice beaches too.
• Fresh seafood can be bought at a number of shops but our favourite is on the jetty on the waterfront on the north side of the bridge.
• Our favourite restaurant is Simply Seafood on the Marina in Forster's Bay. It has won the best regional seafood restaurant award for NSW a number of times.
• The locals recommend any of the clubs for a less expensive meal
• "Love at First Bite" at Tilba Tilba has a good lunch and whilst there explore the antique shops and garden.
• The Tilba Valley Winery at Corunna Lake (signpost on highway on way to Tilba) puts on a very nice lunch and you can sample the wines too!
• Central Tilba has a fabulous cheese factory and award winning cheeses. It also has a fantastic woodwork shop.
• Bermagui and Cobago are worth a visit.
• The best place to buy sunflower seed for the birds is the grain shop in Glasshouse Rocks Rd in the industrial area at the top of town. It is worth putting the sunflower seed out as the birds are a circus, great entertainment!
