Eurobodalla National Park VKFF-0164

Spending a few nights down at Narooma, popped in to activate Eurobodalla National Park in the way. Drove to Moruya Heads. Sign for the park.

I decided to try another spot to activate the park from, Shelly Beach. This had picnic tables and being winter not much demand for them, so used one for the shack. Close to the water. Had a few surfers go past in wet suits, even in winter still some water activity here.

Shack on the table.
