On Monday 7th we left Tawonga and travelled
south to a small town called Dargo. We took a gravel track further into the bush
and stayed on the Mitchell-Wonnangatta River at 'Black Snake Creek' campsite. Ant drove 3 hours back to Melbourne to pick up Kara and then drove back to join us.
River crossing
On Tuesday we did a bit of 4 wheel driving. We drove up to the top of the mountain. What a beautiful view of the mountains!
At the top!
The track going down the mountain
We couldn't be bothered cooking and Kara was already sick of camp food so for dinner we drove back into Dargo for a pub meal at the Dargo Hotel. Yum!
Sunset on the way back to camp
On Wednesday we packed up and spent the day driving. We stocked up supplies in Maffra and continued on until we got into Baw Baw National Park. We found a campsite on Aberfeldy river and stayed there for the next 2 nights.

Saw some horses splashing in the water
On Thursday we did a bit more 4 wheel driving while Mum, Amanda and Nicole stayed back at camp. Later on in the afternoon we had a swim in the river and could wash our hair! We also spotted a huge race horse goanna. It was over a metre long from head to tail!
Family photo
On Friday we got up on time, packed up and drove to the coast. We went to Phillip Island and stopped for lunch there. Really nice location by the water! Dad's friendly cousins offered us a house for accommodation so that's where we are staying for the weekend. Once again we can have nice warm showers.
