From Bright to Merimbula

We took a different route to Merimbula ... through Eskdale and Mitta Mitta. We might have paid a bit more attention to the notice "Road Not Suitable for Caravans"... most of the drive was fine, except when the bitumen disappeared and we found ourselves on a nasty patch of slippery slidey mud. Sticky handled the situation very well, and we ended up at Anglers Rest. Free camping by the creek, and waking up to 0 degrees!

The new generator is just fantastic, boiling the kettle is now a breeze.
Breakfast by the creek.
The Blue Duck at Anglers Rest. Was not open for dinner, much to our annoyance.

The Vannie trails merrily behind us.

Here was our lunch destination at Bruthen.
Big long stretches of land have been affected by fire.
And finally, we arrive at Merimbula. Aaaaahhh. 25 degrees and a gorgeous sunset.
