Don't Speak Too Soon

I should have known. As soon as you think everything is cruising along , something comes along to wake you up.

After some good times in beautiful Mallacoota, we thought we would try out our ability to bush camp a bit. Right in the heart of the Croajingalong National Park, we read about a lovely secluded spot which was included in the "101 Best Beaches of Australia" book we have been studying. Sounded good.

We headed down the 34km rough track to arrive at the campground. It looked ideal and we just managed to squeeze our caravan into a spot. We had ignored the "caravans not recommended" sign at the beginning of the track. I would have complied if it had said not permitted.

We then took our picnic across to the beach to find one of the most beautiful beaches I have come across.

Enjoying Wingan Inlet

So where's the hitch? Well we returned to the campsite to have dinner and go to bed only to find that our water and lights were not working. Fortunately Alison had prepared dinner so we ate and went to bed early with tension in the air. 

We had hoped to spend a few days at Wingan Inlet but without our water system we headed off and are now in Bairnsdale where we have sorted our water problems out which were thankfully not major. All in all not too bad but for those of you who said it would take a few weeks to settle in , I believe you.
