We decided to take my mother down the coast for the weekend, expecting warm Spring weather. It was unusually cold and wet, so we took advantage of some special eateries.
Our first stop was Braidwood, an hour’s drive from Canberra.
Braidwood, near the Shoalhaven River, was established in the 1840s and built with convict labour. It is a very popular stopping point for Canberrans en route to the coast. It is now coming back to life after the devastating effects of the Summer bushfires and the Covid restrictions.

We found a great little cafe, Provisions on Wallace Street
Our waiter was a Frenchman from Brittany who has made Braidwood his home. The cafe sources authentic products. The charcuterie platter was to die for.
Saturday was also overcast so we decided to drive south,from our coast house near Moruya, along the coast towards Tathra.
We booked a table at the Drystone Restaurant at the Mimosa Winery.
Another delicious meal in spectacular setting
Another favourite restaurant is the quirky Quarterdeck in Narooma on the lakeside, which now has a Mexican flavoured menu.
PS Near our coast house we discovered a perfectly made ‘bower’ that our native bowerbirds create as a mating ritual.
