Kangaroos and warm sunsets at Potato Point

Daylesford + Junee 2023

August 21-23: We stayed in Potato Point, north of Narooma, just across the channel from Tuross Head which we had visited a couple of weeks earlier.

There’s something about kangaroos: so uniquely Australian, gentle but strong. Literally warm and fuzzy, but don’t underestimate them. They are everywhere, here. The grass is full of land mines for bare feet 😉.

The holiday park is off grid. Run on solar, but I don’t think any batteries, so I think they have to run diesel at night. The powered sites are limited to 6A. The cabins have no microwave or electric kettle.

Such a beautiful, peaceful spot. We could almost move in.

We drove around the area for a couple of days, looking at a couple of potential houses (and grabbing coffee) in Tuross Head, and getting dinner in Narooma. I caught up on some work, and we just chilled.

Charging

We just used the battery charge we had grabbed at the Narooma superchargers. We didn’t charge at the park, since they are off grid. We probably could have charged from their excess solar during the day, but it wasn’t worth the bother.

    1. David Posavec Oh wow. Are you adding those batteries to your off grid setup? What are their specs? How many?

  3. We used to camp there before buying our holiday house at Tuross. That park has the most amount of wildlife you’ll see while camping - yes, kangaroos but also emus, a big lizard and even red belly black snakes! Needless to say a night time trip to the loo isn’t for the faint hearted!
