It was late afternoon by the time we reached our destination – the sleepy fishing port of Eden. And what a coastline it was. We had plenty of opportunity to enjoy it, since this was the view from our balcony.

Nearing the Coast
Once again, I was at Brown Mountain, although this time I was heading for the coast, not the mountains. After crossing the treeless Monaro Plain, the wooded hills that lined the Bega Valley provided a welcome change of scenery.
Gig – Jonsi
BB and I went to see Jonsi last night. And it was marvelous. He really does have a voice of an angel. And the songs were glorious live.
Gold – Kiandra
Another gold fields sight in the region was Kiandra, but unlike Adelong, no town remained after the gold was gone.
This area was stark and very cold. I can’t imagine prospectors walking in from the coast, to pan gold in freezing cold streams. The lengths people went to for gold…
You can see the trees in the background were bare. This was probably due to the 2004 fires that burned 1/3 of Kosciuszko National Park.
