This morning it’s like waking up in the jungle with all the
bird song at dawn. We’ve only manages to spend one night on this beautiful
island, it’s all too short. We’re going to Lakes Entrance today, some 300Km
towards Sydney, and the journey, I’ll not lie is long. I’ve been dumped as
chief navigator, Dave has switched on “Gertie Garmin” and seems to prefer her
soft tones – I’m miffed!!! Never mind more sleeping time for me. With only 50Km
to go Dave agrees to stop in Bairnsdale for us to restock the fridge and eat at
“Little Alice’s” café. All suitably refuelled we press on for Lakes Entrance
and suddenly round a corner the views of the rivers and lakes open up, Gertie
naturally, leads us straight to Eastern Beach our stop for the next 2 days.
We’ve already walked the 2 minutes stroll to the beach and what a beach – the
famous 90 mile beach. Simply gorgeous, golden sand, turquoise sea, rolling surf
and hardly anybody on the beach. As I write I’m surrounded by the calls of
green and red parakeets, seabirds and I’m watching a pelican swim languidly by,
a perfect spot for a BBQ and a bottle of wine tonight.
