Friday 9th November,2018
The crew rugged up and saddled up and headed along the highway to Nimmitable. Thirty kms of sun and freezing cold. It was five degrees when we left Cooma and a bit less at Nimmitable. Breakfast of egg rolls and coffee warmed us up and it was then on to Bombala. Great road with wide curves, if only it could get warmer and I could actually feel my fingers.
Bombala library was where we left it many years ago but has since had a makeover and is a credit to the Council and community. Cups of tea and cream buns and a tour of the library and then it was down the mountain to Pambula and through Merimbula and on to Tura Beach.
Tura Beach shopping Centre once boasted a tavern. Now we were to spend the night at a hotel in Dalgety that has been in operation for over a hundred years. This tavern lasted only a few years and the Council has now leased the building and turned it into one of the nicest libraries in the State.
Great toilets as Ian noted. Beer garden now a great reading area and a view of the ocean.
Again we were off and heading to Bega, a library I set up in 1976. Ducati into the library, pictures, interview with a journo from the local paper and another with a journo on Facebook.
Away we go again, out of town, past the Bega Cheese factory, up the highway turn left up the mountain to the Bombala turnoff. On the same road we took earlier that day. Turn right after twenty kilometres and then a sign which tells me Dalgety is another fifty kilometres, it was now cold and windy. I perceived and soon arrived at the Dalgety pub. Brian handed me a beer and somehow all was well with the world.
