9th of January 2012 = Spent the morning walking up the water way of lakes entrance with Jessica riding her bike nearly a total of 4km. At the halfway point of our walk we went into the shell museum where the girls enjoyed looking at the shells. We return walked back with lunch at a bakery. My Uncle and Auntie arrived at the caravan park as organized.
10th of January 2012 = Went for a drive down to a place called Raymond Island. The highlights of Raymond Island is the koalas (found 7 in the wild) and the free ferry crossing over (if you walk on). We had a café Lunch and stopped at Bairnsdale on the way back to lakes entrance to go the biggest slippery dip we have seen in a long time.
11th of January 2012 = Another Rainy day in Victoria so went for another drive this time up to Buchan Caves stopping in at an old historic bridge on the way. At the caves we had our packed lunch at the nice campsite provided tables. We then decided to do a cave walk and did what they called a fairy cave. The tour guide caught on that we told the girls there may be some fairies inside so played along with it nicely pointing out the fairy dust on some very sparkly sections. The girls loved it and enjoyed it so much that what to me was just another cave turns out to be the best cave I have enjoyed. Once returning to camp we had a very nice camp dinner with my Uncle and Auntie with Fish and prawns.
12th of January 2012 = Spent the morning cleaning up the truck and van and also had to get some extra nuts as the nuts holding my exhaust onto the turbo had come loose so required a bit of tight hand work to get them back on. My Uncle and Auntie offered to look after the kids so Kate and I could go out for Dinner which we headed down to a café which was out on the water and had one of the best steaks I have had in a long time. We also stopped and had an 18hole game of putt putt with Kate’s score at 61 and mine at 45.
13th of January 2012 = Last day at Lakes Entrance we finished packing up said good bye to My Uncle and Auntie and headed west we did plan to go to Wilsons promontory but bad weather kept us heading to Melbourne and setting up our van in Kate’s Auntie’s front yard at Preston.
14th of January 2012 = Decided to head into town on the train and spent the day looking around and looked at the markets.
15th of January 2012 = Decided to head over to Altona where Kate has another Auntie and we went down to Williamstown where there was a car show and some markets for the girls. Finishing the day with dinner at there house before heading back to Preston.
