Canberra is about 1.5 hours from the coast and like most Canberran’s I love nothing more than to head down to the beach on a long weekend during the summer. When you hit Batemans Bay, you either go north or south depending on your favourite location. We always go a little bit north to the Murramarang National Park where there are some great places to camp close to the beach. It has some great wild coastal scenery and you can find plenty of places where there are hardly any people. There are numerous beaches all along the coast, many you can have to yourself. Here are a few photos I have taken of the area.

The first few are from the Pretty Beach area. This place lives up to its name as it is one of the prettiest beaches I have seen.
Here are some of the animals you can see in the park. The first couple are of the goanna which can get pretty big (more than 2 metres). You need to keep your food locked away during the day as they will walk through the campsite devouring anything they can find.
The wild kangaroos have got so tame you can walk up and pat them. Here is my daughter patting a young kangaroo at Pebbly Beach.
