Moruya
We have stopped in Moruya for the night. Our site has lovely views of
the mountains in the background and fields with cows close by. There
is a river on the other side of our camp site though not very good for
swimming.

Say Cheese!
To make good cheese you need a cow! Here is the cow at the entrance to
the Bega cheese factory. Moooooo.

Swim at Pambula Beach
An earlier than usual start fir the day allowed us to have a swim at
Pambula Beach. Crystal clear water and beautiful white sand was a very
inviting sight. The water was still a bit cool for some of the campers
but it was a great way to freshen up!

Been Fishin'
We have stopped in Eden for the night and have found a powered site
at....The Garden of Eden Caravan Park. Wasn't hard to pick that name
was it! When you're in a fishing town you have to have fish for
dinner so we found the fish & chip shop and have ordered up big.

Cann River - Lunch break
We have pushed on from Lakes Entrance and are heading for Eden is the
little ones can hold out. We have stopped in Cann River Victoria for a
bit of lunch at 2pm. We found a lively piece of shade under a tree in
front of the local Police Station.

Great Spot
Lakes Entrance is a lovely place. Looks like you need a boat to take
full advantage of what the area has to offer though.

Pelicans at Lakes Entrance
We had a lovely stay in Lakes Entrance and went to check out the
Pelicans and let the kids go to the skate park. We had to make some
running repairs to Natasha's scooter. The local auto parts shop had
what we needed.

Ensuite!
That's us tucked in on the left hand side. Pretty cool out today. Nice
blue water and the boys spotted a skate park on the way into town.
Guess what they're asking us to do next! We need to catch up on the
washing first. Sausages on the BBQ tonight.

Lakes Entrance
1825 kms into the trip we find ourselves at Lakes Entrance. We have
the deluxe suite with ensuite swimming pool, ensuite playground and
ensuite kamp kitchen. Everything at our fingertips really. A steal at
$40 a nite. Yes they stole $40 from us!

Traralgon
When the van is moving they want to get out. When the van is stopped
they don't want to get out. Hmmm something wrong here.

We left Phillip Island at about 10:30am and we are headed for Lakes
Entrance for the night. Here we are having a quick ploughman's lunch.
Bread and a variety of fillings such as chocolate spread (Brent found
that) peanut butter, strawberry jam, vegemite and some real
strawberries all washed down with a fine red (cordial of course).

Penguins!
Well you can't see any penguins here. They came in at 9:15pm. Cute
little things. 30cm tall and they come up the beach in groups ranging
from 4 to 14 (at least this is what we saw).

centre.

Phillip Island
Today we travelled from Woodend to Phillip Island. It took longer than
we expected. We managed to find a powered site for the night. Geez
it's packed here.

New Year's Rain
Thunder, lightning, hail, heavy rain & some sunshine has been the
order for New Year's day weather. Great for the bushfire threat, the
animals and the crops.
