Day 9: Rest day in St Kilda. A late start following a lie in, then brunch at a cool cafe. A good start to the day. The afternoon we have spent doing our chores, washing and shopping ready for the next leg of our trip. This evening we have though christened Adams new gas BBQ at the local park. A feast of sausages, burgers, rissoles and kebabs with a small amount of salad. A pleasant evening. Now watching a classic episode of "A bit of Fry and Laurie" and plann...

Day 8: Took a morning stroll from the camp at Tidal River over to Squeaky Beach. The views and beach were stunning. We seem to say that everyday, which is no bad thing. Sadly large parts of the park are still closed off, the roads and trails not yet repaired following majors floods and land slips last year.

Onwards to Orbost to refill the fuel tank, both Buddy's and our with a cup of tea. On again, making our way to Lakes Entrance, a tourist tra...

Day 7: after a night of heavy rain we rose early to watch the sunrise to find that unsurprisingly the sun was obscured behind dense cloud.

Day 6: following heavy rain overnight we decided to stay in bed rather than watch the sunrise. Perhaps a little lazy but a full day of exploring has made up for it. Started with some time on the beach before breakfast. Caroline running, and Gareth breaking out the snorkeling gear to look for fish. Some shoal of bright blue fish disturbed near the shore it was too cold to venture too far out. A group of dolphins arrived a little way offshore so we watched them fo...
