We were lucky enough to take a tour to Montague Island yesterday. Absolutely fabulous! The boat from Narooma took us out looking for whales then off to Montague Is where we we spent about 3 hours with the volunteer guides. We walked for most of the time, stopping at key areas to look at the view, check out the nesting sea birds, eggs and chicks, look at the beautiful old buildings and incredible vegetation. Stunning! And the volunteer guides, Heather and an amazing Swiss Australian man we’re brilliant. Thanks so much National Parks and Montague Charters, we loved it. ( They will tell you when you book that you need to bring water and snacks....good advice! )

The Glasshouse Rocks is located on Narooma Surf beach which is the best place to view them especially at low tide when one can simply walk along the beach ????. The ancient rocks are incredibly interesting with different formations which are ideal for photos. At high tide drive to the Narooma cemetery and locate the white fence with a trail leading down to the beach.

4. Bar Rock Lookout and Australia Rock

We were towing a van and were advised by the information centre not to go right down to the entrance. We parked up in the top car park which was good as there were a couple of great lookouts with fabulous views over Montague Island. Australia Rock is amazing and there are some great angles to photograph it. We walked along the break wall and saw quite a few Seals swimming as well as a number lying in the rocks sunning themselves. Well worth a visit especially if you have kids that would like to see a Seal. However, don’t get too close as they can be unpredictable.
5. Safety Bar Beach (South)

We had a beautiful day at Safety Bar Beach just located south of the bridge in Narooma. The netted beach is ideal for families as it’s totally safe for swimming with no waves as it’s protected by the breakwater from Wagonga Heads. Just around the corner one can find the local seals and Manta Rays which swim regularly just near the Mills Bay boardwalk.

The shipwreck happened on November 11, 1880. It had a cargo of coal and was heading to Melbourne. Once they hit the rock, the ship went down quickly. Everybody had to abandon the boat. For several days, they could see the masts sticking out. Now, all that remains is a plaque about the Lady Shipwreck Worthwhile to see.
