Holiday - 2006/10/17


  • We stayed in Lakes Entrance today.
  • We had breakfast at the cabin before heading out to Metung – a little village 15km from Lakes Entrance. We picked up a couple of coffee’s on the way – the locals like their coffee LARGE!

  • We picked out the best spot on the lake – a lovely bit of beach with no-one in sight. Actually, we spent about 4 hours at the beach and saw less than 10 people the entire time. It was fabulously quiet and private.



  • Stephen & Mike then spent a few hours digging a massive channel (named Suez). It seemed like a simple task at first until we dug 10cm below the surface and discovered that the beach was half sand and half rocks and shells. If this wasn’t hard enough Stephen insisted the last part of the channel be a tunnel. After numerous disagreements relating to design and work assignments the task was finally complete. Stephen celebrated by caving in the tunnel.

  • We enjoyed lunch on the beach and then headed back to the cabin for a well deserved rest.
  • We cooked a bbq in the evening and relaxed with cheese and biscuits from the Cheese Factory at Tilba, accompanied by a Sparkling Shiraz. This holiday stuff is pretty good!
