Sun 24 Nov 2013 - East Gippsland

During breakfast we decided to try to ring Ali and we got onto her straight away. It was great to talk to her and it meant Suellen could be in on the conversation as well. Suellen had to go to work after this and Rodger and I pottered about, re packing the van. We left about 10am, drove into Foster and saw Suellen pulling in to the office so we said "Goodbye" again and then we found a Uniting Church where the service had only just started, so we went and joined them. Afterwards we did a quick shop and, after Rodger had acquired a sausage roll, set off on the East Gippsland Highway.

It was raining quite hard on and off all day, so it wasn't really a day for stopping and looking at things. We did stop at Lakes Entrance to look at the fishing boats and see if there was any surf (it was all blown out) and then we continued on to Cann River.

 At Cann River there's a good, cheap camping ground down by the river, owned by the Shire Council and part of the rainforest, it smelt really good, when we stepped out of the car. As it was still raining and so cold that our meat hadn't defrosted, we went to buy a takeaway. Rodger got a hamburger and chips but there wasn't anything I could have so I made myself an omelet, toast and some of our new mango honey.

It was very nice to be back in our van again and have everything so conveniently to hand. As it's such a miserable night, we're already tucked up in bed at 8.30pm!
