Bass Strait

The rollers come in from Bass Strait at Paradise Beach.
Paradise Beach (otherwise known as Letts Beach) is part of The 90 Mile Beach.
I camped here the first night.
Parks Victoria has a campsite here.
The site is very simple. There are toilets and tables in a shelter.
There is no water view because the ocean front is lined with melaleuca
to a depth of about 50 metres. Needful to avoid erosion.
There would have been about 20 people camped there.

I awoke in the morning to gale force winds
which prevented me from entering the water while taking note of the warning above

Wild Life

This sign is on the road between Longford and The 90 Mile Beach.
On my journey, neither a roo nor a wombat to be seen

Meself to Mallacoota

On 2 January in the afternoon, I took off for a camping trip I had been planning a while. Just a few days to explore parts of country Victoria that I had not seen. (Only been in Vic 16 months.) I have a Mitsubishi station wagon and I planned to camp in this - because I enjoy camping and also to cut down on motel bills. I have a single rubber mattrress covered in plastic - obtained from someone's footpath before the Hard Waste Collection. You can see my bed made up in the wagon complete with a pair of pillows in vintage embroidered pillowcases with crocheted edges. How the genteel shabby chic elder lady goes camping :-) LOL!

Of course, who gets in the car every chance he can get - none other than FootFoot! He esconced himself there while I finished the rest of the packing. He could tell he wasn't going - but the look in his eyes!
