18 November to 30 November 2012

After our wonderful return home to Queensland for brother Ray’s wedding to Lorraine we took off from Narre Warren to revisit Lakes Entrance and in particular the Twigg connection. (Aileene’s sister and her family)

From Narre Warren we decided to take the South Gippsland Highway and break the trip to Lakes in half. Our stop over was free camp #83 at Reeves Beach just on the coast from Woodside. It only had a drop dunny but it was a short stroll to the Ninety Mile beach. A great little camp which is very popular with the locals.

After a couple of pleasant days at Sue and Nicks we went camping with them for three nights to Corringle Slips camp ground ( #18) which is located on the western side of the inlet or across the river from Marlo.The paddle steamer Curlip delighted us with a passing. www.paddlesteamercurlip.com.au

The camp ground is controlled by the state government and ther is  supposed to be a charge but there was no means to pay nor did any one call to collect a fee. A very popular camp ground and the fishing in the estuary was quite good. Drop toilets and some non-potable water available.

After another couple of nights back at the Twiggs to celebrate Sue’s birthday we started to head back to Narre Warren to ready ourselves for the trip on the ferry to Tassie on Friday evening.

Once again we broke the journey by travelling a different way this time through Churchill and located free camp # 60 This camp has no facilities except natural beauty and is located SE of Boolarra 8 km along a narrow winding road and on the banks of the Morwell River.
