...And the Holiday begins!




We're off - It's almost like it has taken us a couple of days to get into the swing of the holiday - but into the swing we are now. We are touring Gippsland - in eastern part of the state of Victoria. The land is quite diverse with us going in and out of low country, forests, rolling hills and farmlands.



Today we saw our first Wallaby as well as being greated by a Kookaburra (although it wasn't in a Gum tree - not that we would recognise a Gum tree if we saw it!). We are also seeing a good number of black swans - no white ones though which seems a bit strange. The coastline is beautiful and though we missed the 90 Mile Beach (how do you miss a 90 MILE LONG BEACH YOU ASK???) still feel lucky to be here.






Tonight we camped in Malacoota - which is a small village right at the end of Victoria out of the way of the main roads. Locals were friendly, giving us considerable advice on how to back into our campsite. Almost looked like it was their only entertainment for the evening...

Looks like a trip of a lifetime and even the turkeys can't get to you! Meaning no problems at all so far, huh? Enjoy. Lucille Lidbeck
