The First Week (and a bit)


Hello blog followers! I'm just letting you know that the structure of these posts may differ from my last ones as I'm trying to choose a style that works best for me. This week I'll try not to bore you with a monotonous, chronological retelling but instead a faster-paced read with smaller and more interesting snippets from our trip and lots of photos.

Our first day in Lilydale was spent with my cousins, aunt, and uncle, and their lovely dog Monty. (see pic 2)
We also went on a walk while in Lilydale (see pic 4) where I did a lot of carrying Pedro after he got too tired.

Our next stop was Sale where we drove to our first sighting of 90 Mile Beach (see pics 6 and 7) and also experienced a market happening in our own backyard... the campground (see pic 8)

We then drove to Eagle Point where I got to see koalas in the wild on Raymond Island!!! (see pics 9 and 10) 
That same day we had a beautiful drive on the second-longest silt jetty in the world (see pics 11 and 12) where I experimented with some photography (see pics 17 and 18)

I'll try to write a bit sooner this time so you don't tune out!
Much love,
Ari and Pedro ❤️

Lakes Entrance to Bermagui

Hello!! I hope your first week back at school has gone well (for the Tarremahtians) and that you are all keeping warm down in the cold depths of Tassie (excluding a select few lucky enough to live somewhere a bit warmer). Lakes Entrance was our first stop after Eagle Point which, as the name suggests is where the Gippsland Lakes meet up with the ocean. The main priority while there was, of course, to do the walk and visit the very point of the Entrance where you can watch the goings-on of marine life and boat traffic.  We then travelled to Cann River where we got to experience our very first free campground. Apart from a few interesting characters staying there, it actually wasn't vastly different from the paid sites. We got to light our first fire here where we managed to cook food on it for the two days we stayed there. On our first night, we roasted apples on the fire (much to my dad's concern) with the full credit for this going to my gardening teacher Sophy. On the second ...
