Aussie beach bums

Without a doubt one of my favourite places in all of Australia is Pebbly Beach.  It’s famous for its mob of friendly beach-loving kangaroos.  Here you can wander among its native residents as they go about their business among the sand dunes and grassy knolls of a popular surfing beach in Murramarang National Park.  The sight of kangaroos on the beach is truly iconic.

I first visited Pebbly Beach in 1990 and was blown away by the experience.  This is one location that genuinely lives up to its Instagram hype.  The kangaroos here really do bound along the beach and they’re not the least bit afraid of their human spectators.  Garry and I visited the beach again while returning from what’s fast becoming our annual pilgrimage to the Narooma Oyster Festival.

Our latest return visit was just as memorable.  Garry was simply blown away by the number of kangaroos we saw and their fearless nature.  We were also delighted to spot several carrying joeys in their pouches.  Even better, for almost half an hour we had the entire beach largely to ourselves.  What can I say?  Pebbly Beach is truly a unique Australian experience.  We’ll definitely be back to enjoy it all again.
