The next town was the seaside town of Narooma and as soon as we arrived in this little town we knew it was going to be the prettiest town on this coast. We arrived late morning and got some yogurt for breakfast before heading to the lookout point at the top of the town.

So picture the scene we are in the van chatting and laughing about the impending doom of negotiating Sydney traffic when for some unknown reason I decided to get out the rental agreement t...
