MORUYA

Its Sunday morning and after once again packing up in the pouring rain...we set off  heading towards our next destination ..

MORUYA

Rained all the way there, we stopped off just out side Moruya for a coffee which we always do .. as once we arrive its full on setting up for a little while.

Situated on the banks of the beautiful Moruya River, Moruya is a country town in the traditional style with an easy, relaxed lifestyle far removed from the pace of city life. Moruya has been a rural and commercial centre. It as a number of historic buildings as you pass through the main streets of the town, the preservation and restoration of which gives Moruya its special character on the Eurobodalla Coast.


Although being the smallest of the three major towns on the Eurobodalla Coast, Moruya is the administrative centre of the shire - home to the council offices and other public institutions, such as the Moruya College of TAFE. The historical selection of Moruya for these institutions arises partly from the fact that Moruya lies near the geographical centre of the Eurobodalla Shire, which runs from Batemans Bay in the north to Tilba in the south and also because Moruya is one of the older towns in the region.

Moruya hosts country markets held on Saturday mornings in the centre of town. Here you can browse through a wide array of stalls offering arts, homemade crafts, clothes, food delicacies and much more. 


Moruya is also popular for its annual rodeo which really gives a taste of country living in rural Australia.

Equally, this versatile town is renown for its Jazz Festival, which annually boasts an amazingly varied program with big-name jazz musicians playing in relaxed country venues.
We wont be around for that, but I guess we can always come back again



On arrival at the Riverbreeze Tourist Park ..once again we find the same situation as Milton, we could not fit on the site...I dont know some people just have no idea how long 10 metres is.....
John and I went for a walk around the park and found one place where we would fit...Lucky for us it was available.. I have no idea why they didn't suggest that in the first place.
But we were happy to take it as I wasn't in the mood to look for somewhere else in the pouring rain...


The site is a nice spot .... over looking the river...
We have a nice view from our front windows...
