The week before the Labour Day holiday weekend here, so we thought it would be a good time to get the teardrop back into action, and head off down to one of our favourite places, Cape Conran down in East Gippsland. We stayed first night in Marlo CP, and had a lovely dinner in the pub, which must have one of the best views of any pub anywhere, looking out over the Snowy River estuary.
Great food and friendly locals as well - we formed a very good opinion of the Marlo pub.
Next day we drove to Bemm River to check it out but somehow it looked a bit cheerless, so we drove back to Cape Conran, checked in for three nights and found a nice camp site, which was pretty easy as the place was almost deserted.
Over the next few days we went for some lovely walks, both along the beach and through the bush, canoeing with our trusty inflatable Tahiti canoe on Yeerung River, swimming (carefully) in the sea, and spent a fair bit of time sitting round reading, as well as cooking, eating and meditatively staring into the camp fire.
The most excitement was the visit from three large goannas, who each investigated the campsite, before settling down for a brief nap. It was quite companionable really and we were touched by their trust in us, that we were not going to eat them or do them harm.
All in all, a really nice trip and a good encouragement to get the teardrop out more often.
