Three bridges
There's a new, concrete bridge being built across the Tuross River at the Nerrigundah Rd turnoff from Bodalla Rd. The exiting wooden bridge is alongside it, but underneath the concrete one there appears to be the remains of an earlier, much lower wooden bridge.

Rough Seas, northern end of Rosedale
Usually getting around this small rock platform to Boatshed Beach could mean getting your toes damp at high tide. At low tide, it's very sandy. Recently with the rough seas, at high tide, it's definitely leg-wetting!
Tomorrow a picture at low tide, with calm sea.

Rough seas, Rosedale main beach
Rosedale Beach is not patrolled by lifesavers, so you always take your chances. Not too many people have been swimming the past few days. In the last year or so, flotation buoys have been installed at two points along the beach, fastened to the cliff-faces. There have been drownings at Rosedale. Along this stretch of beach, there are several areas where rips develop. Families tend to stick to the northern end, locally called Boatshed Beach, which is usually much calmer. Those with young children might splash around in the lagoon - the mouth of Saltwater Creek. In high seas, at high tide, it is sometimes open to the ocean.

Rough sea, Nun's Beach, Rosedale
The past few days have seen heavy seas along the NSW coast. Not quite as rough down south, but enough so warnings against rock fishing and reminding people to swim to swim only on patrolled beaches, between the flags. Most beaches in the Batemans Bay area have been "closed", which means that lifesavers do not put the flags out, and people are warned against swimming.

Pink plane, Coila
A sign on the plane reads: "Hi, this pink plane came about after a couple of drinks at a party and we didn't think it would get the attention it does so we decided to make use of that attention so we contacted the Cancer Council of Australia and we are now an official fundraiser for their cause...it's not compulsory but if you would like to donate a gold coin when taking photographs into the money box supplied we can assure you that every last cent will be forwarded on to the Cancer Council to help research this horrible disease and maybe through your little contribution we may even find a cure..."

Tuross River at Tyrone Bridge
A swim in the Tuross River at Tyrone Bridge, at Eurobodalla, nine kilometres southwest of Bodalla. The original wooden bridge was in the process of being replaced by a new concrete bridge. Our landscaper obtained some of the timbers from the old bridge, and we have some in our front garden.
For more information about the bridge replacement, see here.
