Anchors Aweigh Bed & Breakfast Narooma 

options, beds with queen or king options, tea/coffee making, common lounge and dining room. Narooma NSW, one of Australia's most beautiful ocean side towns. Located on the South Coast of New South Wales, it's one of the most unique seaside towns on the South Coast. We are located in the heart of the Eurobodalla Nature Coast, a pristine stretch of oceanfront starting at Batemans Bay and ending south at Narooma and Central Tilba. Narooma is named after the Aboriginal word for "yellow bubble sea weed", which is ONooroowa. Narooma is just a few hours drive from Canberra and Sydney. There are a lot of scenic pleasures around Narooma and you can appreciate and explore these on walking trails and tourist drives. The natural environment is clean and respected and the forests and National Parks in the area will take your breath away. Recover it in time to enjoy the fine dining and shopping available in town. A variety of restaurants and snack foods will keep your energy levels primed for adventuring and surfing. All the staple requirements plus specialty crafts, gifts and souvenirs and lots more are on offer. Entertainment is presented at the town's licensed clubs and hotels and live acts come from afar to these venues. The nearby towns of Dalmeny and Kianga are also worth a visit, each exhibiting their own particular seaside charm. Accommodation in the area is plentiful with a range of motels, hotels, camping and caravanning areas, guesthouses, units and houses all available year round. The coastal villages of Dalmeny and Kianga are only a short drive north of Narooma and feature attractive coastal vistas and great beaches. There had been an earlier settlement nearby at Punkalla, which was a port for Bodalla and Nerrigundah; a ruined jetty and timber mill can still be seen there. Gold was discovered nearby at Central Tilba in 1880 and a post office was opened at Corunna, but called Noorooma until 1882. There is still a street bearing this spelling in the town today. A township was surveyed at Narooma in 1883 and it was declared a port in 1884. Its school opened in 1886 and its post office in 1889. Transport to Narooma was first from the sea. From 1894 a hand-worked punt crossed Wagonga Inlet linking Narooma with Moruya. A daily mail coach ran through the town between Bega and Moruya. Narooma was regarded as a tourist destination from the early twentieth century. The local oyster industry was established around 1900. The Uniting (formerly Methodist) Church on the Princes Highway dates from 1914. Together with the associated parsonage, it is regarded as an excellent example of the Australian Federation Carpenter Gothic architectural style. In 1929 a petrol driven punt that had previously operated at Batemans Bay was installed. The Narooma bridge was the first major bridge constructed on the Princes Highway by the Main Roads Board as part of its efforts to develop the highway. The bridge was built between 1929 and 1931 and crosses the Wagonga Inlet. The bridge has three spans and is made of steel and concrete. It is one of two bascule span bridges of its type remaining in New South Wales in 2002; the other was being threatened with demolition in 2002. A footpath was added to the eastern (seaward) side of the bridge in 1960. A fish cannery opened in 1937 or 1940 to process tuna and salmon. Salmon which visited the inlet annually were trapped and processed. It is said that during one of the annual visits a worker left the trap gate open which allowed a small number of fish to escape. The salmon never returned to Narooma and the cannery was closed. Mount Gulaga, until recently also known as Mt. Dromedary, the name given by Captain Cook for its resemblance to the Dromedary Camel, can be reached from the village of Tilba. There are eight rainforest types on the mountain, and rock sites of significance to the local indigenous population. Views from the top of the mountain are limited by the vegetation. Beaches in the area include Dalmeny Beach, Narooma Beach, Bar Beach (flat water) and Yabarra Beach. Australia Rock is found at the bar crossing (where the inlet empties into the sea). The shape of Australia cut into the rock wall was accidental and was created many years ago when a ship was tied to the rock with large chains to prevent it from washing away. The chains wore the shape into the rock during rough seas and it has been known as Australia Rock ever since^] The Narooma Golf Course was established in 1930 and has been rated amongst Australia's top 50 public access courses and Australia's top 25 resort golf courses. It is considered to be a spectacular and challenging course, with views of Montague Island to the east and Glass House Rocks to the south. Narooma is a town in the Australian state of New South Wales on the far south coast. The town is on the Princes Highway. The name is said to be derived from the Aboriginal word meaning ‘clear blue waters’. At the 2006 census, Narooma had a population of 3,100 people. Montague Island, a National Parks and Wildlife Reserve, is eight kilometres' offshore from Narooma. The island was sighted off the coast by Captain Cook in 1770. The heritage town of Central Tilba is nearby to the south.
