  Most people take a photo of them selves in front of the rock formation that resembles the map of Australia and thought that would be it. If you hang around for awhile, you'll probably discover the seals. Few, however, have any idea that the faint view of the island across is the Montague Island (originally Montagu named after George Montagu-Dunk, 2nd Earl of Halifax [Wikipedia]) where these seals along with small penguins come from. In the past, the south coast of NSW was lined with giant trees that makes a thick dense sub tropical eucalypt forest. The timbers harvested from the forest were known to be resistant to salt water decay and were mainly used for ship building, one of the industries that help build Australia's economy in the past. The light house in Montague Island guides the boats taking the timber up north that passes through the coast of Narooma. Besides the seals and penguins, migrating whales and albatross' can sometimes be found around the waters of Narooma.

  If your only reason to go here is to see the rock that should look like Australian map, then you probably don't want to go here. It doesn't look like Australia in my opinion. However, there are lots of other better reason to be here; the scene, the sea, the bar, and especially the seals! They are lovely. My kids love them.

  Amazing view and lots of tourists queuing to get picture! Best time to visit is during evenings as sun gets down and you could try your camera skills to get amazing shots

  Easy to miss if you're just driving through, however the view is lovely and the seals are a nice addition too. :)
