A Late Autumn Date Day

The co driver had to pick up some shoes she had ordered from a little boutique in Moruya so it’s was a good opportunity to have another date day in that area.
The Dowry is a cute little shop full of quirky bits and pieces as well as nice women’s clothing. 

But for me the building is the highlight. It’s an old bank building constructed in 1905 in the Federation style whose facade has been well preserved.

Then, on the way to lunch, we had to of course pass a quilt shop and, surprisingly, make a stop.

Stephs was originally in Moruya but moved to Broulee, a small coastal village nearby, and is doing well there.

Then it was onto Mossy Point just to the north and the cafe there that is situated in the area’s old general store.

It was good to try a new place and it did not disappoint. Great atmosphere, excellent service and delicious food and coffee.

The pulled pork burger with pickled red cabbage, kewpie/sriracha mayo on a toasted bun with lots of beer battered chips was very yummy.

We then took the scenic rural route into Batemans Bay. 

It was my turn to spend a little. 

I always enjoy half an hour at Dan Murphy’s looking through their international wine collection and stocking up on some French, Italian and Spanish bargains.

They came to the party once again.

So then it was home to light the fire, sit back and relax after a great day out and wait for the super blood moon eclipse.
