30th September – Wednesday
We left Merimbula shortly after 8.00 am for the drive to Lakes Entrance. The weather was very mild, no wind and sunny – the temperature reached about 25 degrees this afternoon.
The road was similar to that from Batemans Bay to Merimbula – very hilly and windy, as well as being quite lumpy and bumpy. These two days would have to be the most uncomfortable we have endured since leaving Tasmania in May! The countryside was mainly forest, with some very lush, green pasture in the Orbost area. We have left the Bega cows behind and are now in Devondale cow territory!
We are staying in the Waters Edge Holiday Park at Lakes Entrance, on the Esplanade across the road from one of the lakes. A smallish caravan park with quite a few permanent holiday caravans, but very good amenities and close to shops. The beach is only a short walk away via a footbridge across the lake – Bass Strait is very peaceful this afternoon, keep the fingers crossed it stays that way! It is possible to hire peddle boats to use on the lake, it is also a sheltered waterway for littlies to play in.
Victorian schools are on holiday this week, therefore lots of school age youngsters about.
Tonight will be our final night on the road, as tomorrow we will be back at Aunty Pat’s.
