Australia Day Long Weekend

Well it wasn't really a long weekend - but by taking Friday off we created an extra long 4 day weekend! We went to Croajingolong National Park, on the border of Victoria and NSW - a drive you can't really do over a weekend. It's been a while since our last camping trip, for various reasons (life being busy etc etc) we haven't really done much since our big trip. This reminded me how much fun it is, and how many beautiful places there are to see in Australia.

Point Hicks
Point Hicks is where, on 19 April 1770, the continent of Australia was first sighted by the men on Captain Cook's Endeavour voyage. Cook records that it was Lieutenant Zachary Hickes who first saw land, and Cook named the point after him.





Mueller Inlet camping
This was our first campsite - the water was very shallow & very warm! Only downside was the mozzies who also liked it very much.



Dunes walk


Skerries
Rock islands home to Australian and New Zealand Fur Seal colonies.




Dead seal - kinda morbid but it was my only chance to see one up close



Live seal



Marlo, a little township between Lakes Entrance and Mallacoota




He was huge!
