Saying goodbye to Melissa & Duane was difficult but
leaving Melissa & Duane’s place and getting on the road back home was easy
due to Melbourne’s navigable road system and Mrs Nav’s (Navman’s) directions.
Before we knew it was goodbye suburbia and g’day country!
We shared a Lake Gutheridge lunch with three black swans, a dozen
waterhens and a hundred or more silver gulls. The lakeside park was nice, the break was
good and the freshly made salad rolls sated our appetite! The birds were inquisitive and HUNGRY!!
Our trip plan was to find the Cann River Pub and turn left.
No, it wasn’t that random a plan we were heading to Bombala to spend a night in
Casa Toyota to reinvigorate our country lungs by breathing some mountain air.
Although long the drive to Bombala on the Cann River Highway
was refreshing and the campsite alongside the Bombala River was worth it. The
Bombala Caravan Park has great amenities and the location is stunning! The
local Lions Club have a great accessible walking path which we explored to take
advantage of great sunset views to finish our day.
Platypus are reputed to be plentiful and although we didn’t
see one outside our tent door we were rewarded with seeing one of the shy monotremes
at the Bombala Platypus Sanctuary. Look closely!!!!
After our successful trip and platypus sighting it was home after a lunch stop at the hazy Pipers Lookout!
