Mogareeka.
I Headed down the mountain to the beach for some rest from the cold of the snow. There was not much sun but it was nice for a change. Tathra is about twenty kilometers from Bega, on the south coast of New South Wales.

Rainbow Lorikeet (Trichoglossus haematodus)
Kianinny Bay
Kianinny Bay is a very protected anchorage and boat ramp in Tathra. The water was crystal clear and there were a bunch of Silver Gulls and an Eastern Reef Egret, Grey Morph, hanging around where the fishermen were cleaning their catches.

Red-browed Finch (Neochmia phaeton)

Eastern Reef Egret (Egretta sacra) (Grey Morph)
Gillards Beach, Mimosa Rocks National Park.
Further north is Gillards Beach in Mimosa Rocks National Park. It is an isolated beach with some excellent camping sites right on the beach. I spent two nights here and had a very restful time. There were lots of macropods around, mainly small Swamp Wallabies and a few Eastern Grey Kangaroo.

Swamp Wallaby (Wallabia bicolor)
The Swamp Wallaby (Wallabia bicolor) is also called the Black Wallaby or Black-tailed Wallaby. They have a distribution along most of the east coast of Australia.

Eastern Yellow Robin

Eastern Whipbird (Psophodes olivaceus) 3983
The Eastern Whipbird (Psophodes olivaceus) has an olive-green back, a black crest, long, broad tail with bold white cheeks to sides of neck. Normally they are very shy and are very hard to spot. But there were four of them around my camp and they would move around scattering leaves and not showing the least interest in me, except to bite me on the toe at one stage. One of them had a truncated tail, and I could not work out the reason for this.
