Where to Eat in Picton – 4 of The Best Places
Picton is a great escape if you’re looking to get out of the city for a few hours. And they have some pretty fab places to eat at as well. After spending a full day exploring the town of Picton; sight-seeing, exploring, walking and of course drinking and eating. I fell in love with four cafes/restaurants who were serving up some great dishes, brewing some of the best coffee I have had in a while and served all meals and drinks with a smile and a good chat. I was incredibly surprised what Picton had to offer, and although I am only mentioning my top four, the streets are lined…

For a while, it sat in transit, as unused space, lost in history and forgotten. Until it was re-opened in 2006 as a beautiful sunken garden and water retreat for locals to take a stroll, sit and sunbake, read, study or explore the old caverns of the reservoir.

Exploring A Historical Aussie Gold Mine
Spent the day exploring an old gold mining town in Mogo along the south coast of New South Wales. This amazing country I call home; Australia is always surprising me. Three times I’ve been to visit the small coastal town of Mogo and not once did I ever know the town was made famous for its gold mine in the late 1800s. Mogo is mostly known for being a cute little boutique coastal town around ten minutes south of Batemans Bay, which is the main fishing town around the south coast. In Mogo, you’ll find around seven shops (maybe a few more) max and several residential properties, and then nothing…
