Mogo
Mogo itself is worthy of a day trip. Just ten minutes south of Batemans Bay on the Princes Highway south of Sydney. Mogo was established during the gold rush in the 1850’s and became almost a ghost town after the rush. Mogo gained popularity again in the 1980’s and saw many artists and craft people calling Mogo home. The shops and houses have been maintained to reflect gold rush era. Collectables, art and crafts fill the shops at reasonable prices and the quaint cafes make you feel like you have stepped back in time. Stroll the main street and feel the Gold rush Era.    Paula Duggan
