Topped up / emptied the van then headed into Mornington. Internetted at the Salvation Army internet cafe (hampered by the 2 thick girls at the counter who didn’t seem to have a clue what they were doing and look like they had just landed from Mars when asked about anything to do with the internet rather than the café!). Had lunch at Pure and Natural again – very nice!
Went to Coles, then left Mornington and retraced our steps back down the now familiar road out of Mornington, and drove for several hours towards Bairnsdale, where Ieuan had chosen a nice looking campsite for us to stay overnight. Got to the site and did a round in the campervan looking for the office, but all we could see were rednecks and layabouts, so we completed the circuit and drove out of the park and left hickstown. Hot footed it towards the next decent sized town, Lakes Entrance, at the edge of Ninety Mile beach. It looked far better, although most of the town is taken up by motels, hotels and caravan parks, and we choose a site near the front called “Waters Edge”, which is opposite the site of the forthcoming National Firemans Competition which is in the process of being set up (or “firies” as they are called here, along with “ambo’s – ambulance drivers!). The lady on reception is extremely grumpy.
Our allocated pitch is fantastically located next to the fish gutting counter, so we hope that no one staying there has had a good day fishing. We go for a quick walk into town before coming back and cooking tea. The strong winds from earlier seemed to have dropped completely and there is now no wind, which is strange.
