Cell coverage can be spotty in this area, so download any maps or directions before leaving main highways. The local general store provides basic supplies, but serious provisioning should be done in Batemans Bay or before leaving larger centers. If you need caravan repairs or parts, you'll need to head to the coast where marine and caravan services are more readily available.
