Yea - Orbost - Mallacoota

 The Nutter family - Libby, Rose, Laura and Beth.  Troy is missing...  We stayed in the Nutters' backyard in Yea for three nights.


 Flat tyre half-way between Toolangi and Healesville.


 Green smoothie with Daddy in our caravan, Orbost.


 Hanging out on the main street of Orbost, op-shopping and sausage rolls for lunch!


 The Snowy River (lower), just before it hits the ocean.


 Swinging with Mummy! Oh what fun!


 Sharing chips with Daddy, Mallacoota.


Drying damp nappy liners in the caravan, Mallacoota Foreshore Caravan Park.

After a long drive on Wednesday, Yea to Orbost, we were thankful to have our little caravan to rest in.  Nahlia is now used to it - she is as relaxed in it as she was at home and she sleeps easily during the day.

We tried to pull over on the side of the road between Toolangi and Healesville to feed Nahlia and change her nappy, only to drive through a wide, deep puddle and get a flat tyre!  When we arrived at Orbost Caravan Park we discovered a tyre shop opposite the caravan park entrance!  Thankfully it was just a nail and was repairable.

Two nights in Orbost gave us lots of rest, clean clothes and nappies, a bath for Nahlia, a few camping things we needed from the op-shops, and energy to continue on our journey.

We want to see some of the east-Victorian coast, so today we headed out to Mallacoota.  It's not quite at the ocean, though, but rather an inlet.  The waterfront views are nonetheless enjoyable!

Tomorrow we'll head on up to Quaama, and settle in to our new home for the next little while.
