Off down the coast toward Sydney

Monday 4th Feb

We left St Kilda early and the journey out was considerably easier than the journey in.  It was starting to feel like we were running out of time on the trip, and we had to bypass a whole bit of the coast to get up to Lakes Entrance.  If there is a next time will come back and revisit, but there is only so much you can do.

From here to Kiama, we decided to do two nights at each place along the way as one night leaves you no time to see anything, and you feel you spend your time just driving, although the scenery has been spectacular.  Of course you can spent whole weeks in this one area alone, so you can't expect to see everything.

We stopped off for coffee along the way and met Norman the donkey and what a vocal donkey it was, braying the whole time we were there.  Wanted to put him in the boot, but Rod wouldn't let me.  :((

It was surprising how different the scenery became, and we were driving through the Great Dividing Range with hills to our left, with lakes everywhere.


Our stop for the next two nights is Lake Entrance, and is exactly what is says on the tin! a little fishing town which is the entrance to the lovely lakes area. The region is called Gippsland.  We'd booked into a small motel, right in the centre of town, and it was just perfect.


Fishing boat in the harbour, literally being mobbed by birds looking for a freebie!

A quiet night, with a few beers down the local hotel was called for tonight.
