| Jimmy's Island, Rosedale |
We first holidayed in beautiful Rosedale (see map) in January 1987, and apart from a few years away when we lived overseas, have been coming here ever since.
In 1986 we bought a block of land and this year started building our retirement home.
It is now time to become Rosedale (....and beyond) Daily Photo. Rosedale is a hamlet located between Batemans Bay and Moruya, 296 kilometres south of Sydney, at latitude 35deg 49s S, longitude 150deg 13s E (decimal: 35.8167° S, 150.2167° E).
At the 2016 census, Rosedale boasted a population of 221 people. Batemans Bay and its suburbs, which stretch as far south as Rosedale, has about 10,500 people. Moruya - Tuross head has about 8,000. The Eurobodalla Shire at the 2016 census had 32,232 people altogether.
The Eurobodalla Shire, of which Rosedale is a part, stretches from just north of Batemans Bay, to Narooma in the south. This blog will feature photos from throughout Eurobodalla.
This view is about 400 metres from my front door.
