Production of the hormone is regulated by the hypothalamus in the brain and by the pituitary gland, a tiny organ located below the brain. When the blood cortisol level falls, the hypothalamus releases corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), which directs the pituitary gland to produce ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone).

Narooma boasts a waterfront boardwalk running the length of Mill Bay, about which one guest wrote: Thank you for the recommendation of the boardwalk-we saw 2 huge octopus and a stingray-the best aquarium we have seen....r if you feel like a dive with some friendly seals, this can be arranged too-see the amazing video above of diving with seals off Montague Island.
