Snowy Mountains N.S.W. to Sale Vic

Leaving Canberra we headed across to the Snowy Mountain and once again saw the most spectacular scenery. Can only imagine what those mountains would look like covered in snow. That will be another trip. Had 2nights at Jindabyne and travelled to Thredbo,Perisher,Mt Kosciuszko,(we did not walk the track of 14kl) Fished in Lake Jindabyne, nothing, but Mick had a little success when he caught his first trout in the Thredbo River. Was quite pleased with himself till someone told him it was illegal to use real bait. We hightailed it out of there with out catch in our fridge. Beautiful country.

Next stop we once again had to go back across the mountains to the coast passing through Bega (the cheese town) and travelling along the Sapphire Coast to Tratha, Merimbula,Pambula and Twofold Bay but then the car decided it needed some TLC. Had to stay over in Eden for a few days but couldn't have picked a better place.

Finally on the road again we headed off yesterday to camp on the banks of the snowy river right at the mouth in Victoria. Fishing was once again the agenda till Mick and Vonnie had to vacate there spot because of not one but two brown snakes together. Mick and Brad chose another spot and all went well till another brown actually reared up , that was the final straw, at 6.30 at night we packed up the vans and left the area. Went down the road a while to a roadside camp. The night bon-fire was cancelled,didn't want to push our luck.

Today we drove into Victoria and at Sail headed towards the coast to Paradise Beach looking for a camp but the winds were up so did a little site-seeing and left the Tasman Sea blowing a gale and we are now at Rosedale just outside of Sale. Heading for Melbourne next stop.

Love to all
