Once again the Feast site for the states of New South Wales and Victoria will be held in Merimbula on the Sapphire Coast. Merimbula is a small town situated on the south coast of New South Wales. An open invite is extended to overseas visitors to enjoy this wonderful part of Australia. The Feast site is noted for its warm and friendly hospitality. Members hold open house afternoons and evenings for brethren to spend time together. The Feast schedule is relaxed and allows for the opportunity for members to fellowship throughout the eight days. The township has boardwalk cafes, restaurants and other eateries. The beach and bay area is located nearby for those who like water activities. Other outdoor activities are available such as golf and walking. Weather temperatures are usually in the lower to mid-20s Celsius (around 70 Fahrenheit). Accommodation is plentiful, and costs are very reasonable. Check the following websites for accommodation listings: www.sapphirecoast.com.au or www.merimbulatourism.com.au. Travel to Merimbula is best via Sydney or Melbourne international airports. Merimbula is approximately a six- to seven-hour drive from either airport.
