Easter 2012–Day 1
Our holidays didn’t start out as planned, our Victorian High Country trip was cancelled due to flooding & road closures etc then we had to wait for a parcel to arrive Thursday, we eventually left at midday At least we could carve up the tar for a few hours.
After passing Bermagui, the joke in the car was that “this” was the furthest south Brendan had been, then a minute late no this is.it went on all afternoon,
We saw a fully dressed Storm Trooper pushing a trolley along the freeway between Bega and Eden’ unfortunately we didn’t have anywhere we could pull over safely to take a photo , I think we were all silent for a good minute before we checked with each other at the same time that we did actually see him..It was the strangest thing
We ended up stopping at a free campsite, Yellow Pinch Dam, on the outskirts of Eden and set up for the night , there were already 2 caravans and a Kombi van, but still plenty of room
Brendan was fascinated by the coloured rock, pink quartz, found around the area.
After tea we chatted with an older couple from SA who were telling us about their trip
We then had an early night so we could get up early ( OMG yes around 6.30..that is in the morning) & catch up on some KM’s we didn’t get to today. It was a nice warm night, with nearly a full moon, so was quite bright. Being off the main road a bit, it was also very quiet!
