Coffee at Malua Bay

 If you want a coffee at Malua Bay, you may end up at the butcher's or the newsagent's! 










The Pink Gates, Moruya


A bronze plaque at the site says: 

"The Moruya Show was first held on land at the corner of Murray and Evans Street, Moruya in 1877 and was later moved to a site now used for Moruya Bowling Club in River Street. The Moruya Jockey Club held its first meeting on the present show ground site on 26th & 27th January, 1887. 

"The Pink Gates" were first built as the entrance to the show ground in River Street, Moruya and moved to their present site in 1914. For many years they were an icon in our village and a meeting place for the young folk of Moruya. 

The gates fell into disrepair and were removed on (sic) the 1960s and the new gates were erected on 17th March 2010 using the old gate located in the Moruya Historical Society as a template. "
