Come and join us as we check out the wonderful animals at Mogo Zoo and immerse yourself in an up-close animal encounter if you wish (extra cost).

We will start from Bean Roasted Cafe at 9am, Calderwood and head up Jamberoo Mountain Road. We will be meandering our way on some great roads via Robertson, Kangaroo Valley and Cambewarra Lookout for morning tea at Cambewarra Tea Room (1h 30min, 79km).

After departing morning tea at 11am, our journey will take us to Nowra, Nerriga and Braidwood (1h 50min, 136km). Lunch at Braidwood Bakery - we recommend grabbing their famous vanilla slice for afternoon tea takeaway. Wander the streets to check out all the historic buildings and quirky shops of Braidwood.

Departing at 2:30pm, then it's a twisty descent of Clyde Mountain on Kings Highway to our accommodation at Batemans Bay (50min, 60km). Total driving time will be 4 hours for 275km. Gather for Fives outside our motel rooms before the short walk to dinner at the Batemans Bay Soldiers Club - check the menu.

 

Accommodation

We are aiming to stay at the Zorba Motel, Ph: 02 4472 4804, right in the heart of Batemans Bay. We have yet to hear from them about room availability. PLEASE DO NOT BOOK YOUR ACCOMMODATION UNTIL WE HAVE CONFIRMED THEY HAVE ENOUGH ROOMS AVAILABLE FOR US.

Tickets can be purchased online using the discount code "ONLINE10" at the checkout to save 10%. Adults $49, Senior $40. Tickets are valid for 365 days from the date of purchase. Additional cost for animal encounter experiences.

After the zoo visit, lunch will be at the Mogo shops before making your own way home.
