Thai at Tuross

The weather forecast was not promising but, hey, it had been months since we could get out on the road together, so, four groups of eager adventurers gathered for the days outing at Milton. We were due to meet three more groups at Batemans Bay so away we went.

The first part of the drive was met with overcast conditions and some light showers but these had largely cleared before our meeting at Batemans Bay. Fortunately, a lot of the recent roadworks had been completed and we had only one delay. The approach to the new bridge at Batemans Bay is still in progress but the bridge is fully open and quite a bit different to the old bridge.

After meeting with our second group we headed off to Mossy Point boat ramp and our favourite little coffee wagon. We seem to have become regulars because the lady making coffee thanked us for our continued support and took a photo of the group to post on her Facebook page.

Coffees done it was time to make our appointment for lunch. A pleasant drive along the coast and river to Moruya, through the town and on our way to Tuross Heads. Lunch at the Pickled Octopus was up to its usual good standard and a variety of dishes were sampled by the group. Again we were recognised by our usual waitress who provided her usual entertainment taking our orders and delivering our meals. Lunch was consumed with a lot of happy conversation as the group caught up with months of news.

All too soon lunch was finished and the restaurant was closing. Time to bid farewell and head for home. A great way to end lockdown.
