What to see & do in Bodalla
Bodalla is a quaint historic village nestled in dairy pastures and beautiful State Forest. Lining the main street are quirky shops and eateries, interesting galleries and a good old-fashioned pub. Known for its dairy farming and cheese making history, Bodalla is also famous for the All Saints Church.
Designed by Edmund Blacket and built in 1880, the All Saints Church in Bodalla stands as a memorial to Thomas Sutcliffe Mort, a pioneer of Australian dairying. The magnificent church is built in the Victorian Academic Gothic Style and features a great tower and spire, large rose window, oak woodwork and finishings, and exquisite stained glass windows. The impressive pipe organ that now lives in the church was imported from England and built by Henry Willis & Sons.
Originally occupied by the Dhurga Aboriginal people, much of Bodalla’s European history is dominated by the activities of its large farming community. The inland locality of Nerrigundah has an exciting past. Once a gold-mining town, it was held up by the infamous Clarke gang in 1866. Nearby Eurobodalla National Park offers plenty to explore and the seaside village of Potato Point provides stunning views of the coastline.
Natural beauty surrounds the accommodation in Bodalla, which ranges from comfortable guest rooms to an eco-friendly caravan park in a spectacular setting.
