Day 71 Saturday 20th April, Location; Gippsland Lakes Coastal Park

Today we got up early time to pack up and move on.

Once again last night the winds were up and the seas were roaring. So I didnt sleep very well at all again.

Today we headed west over to Cape Liptrap to camp overnight then on to Wilsons Prom for a bit of a boo peep.

We called in to Port Albert to have a look around. It was so bitterly cold, Rena was almost blue by the time we got back in the car. Normally I read the signs and take a photo of them for memory. Today it was take the photo and read later. SO COLD!!!!!

Back in the car and got to take the back roads, such nice scenery. That is one thing about this trip we have not stuck to highway one and we have got to see alot of Australia that people dont normally see.

We stoped at the Franklin River Rest Area for a pit stop, what a beautiful spot. I think you can camp here, there is a little man made water feature, good amenities and a couple of covered picnic areas.

James noticed that the lights on the camper were not working, so I took the opportunity to make a cup of tea. Ahhhhhh!!! got to love hot cup of tea on a cold day and also travel mugs.

Got to Forest closest major town to the Prom. Followed prompts from GPS and headed out to Cape Liptrap. WOW another wonderful surprise. After setting up we went for a bit of a walk along the coastline. Absolutely beautiful, a camera just does not capture what the human eye can see. It just does not do it justice to some of these beautiful places.

At least the wind isnt howling here tonight, but in bed early, up early tomorrow to explore the lighthouse before heading over to the Prom.
