2 Beaches and Bush ABOUT EUROBODALLA Perhaps Eurobodalla s finest attribute is how the peaceful sense of place gently insinuates itself into your feelings rather than boldly walking in. Eurobodalla is neither old world nor old fashioned, it s not off the beaten track nor is it backward. Like the mountains, rivers, lakes and ocean that come together here, socialising with each other in a gently beautiful fashion, Eurobodalla has a timeless feeling about it, both in how it greets the eyes and in the way people live here. For more information on Eurobodalla, the towns and villages and the many things to do in the region, visit drop in at the Visitors Centre, Princes Highway Batemans Bay or phone YOUR CONFERENCE VENUE The welcome reception, morning sessions, show and conference dinner will be held at the Batemans Bay Soldiers Club, walking distance from the Batemans Bay CBD and ideally located within minutes of accommodation, shopping, boat cruise tours and tourist attractions.
