Bairnsdale, Paynesville and Lakes Entrance.

Koalas at play on Raymond Island Paynesville Bairnsdale, Paynesville and Lakes Entrance. Now having arrived at Bairnsdale late in the day and although it would not have been our first choice we decided to remain in Bairnsdale for the Gippsland Lakes part of our journey as it is central to the lakes area. First day out we decided to drive to Paynesville and take a look around. It is only a short trip and once we had a quick look around we decided to catch the ferry, as walking passengers, to Raymond Island. This was a very pleasant journey and the walk around was well rewarded with the viewing of the local Koala Bears.

The route we originally planned to travel to Normanton by. Secondly we had read about the “Hidden City” in the Cape Crawford and Borroloola vicinity Once we read a few blogs on this journey we decided it was not suitable for our vehicle and caravan.

Barrow Creek Telegraph Station What a "Furphy" Devils Marbles and Tennant Creek. Then New Castle Waters and on to Katherine. Soon after visiting the Beanie Festival we headed off for the Devils Marbles. Just north of Barrow Creek and Wycliffe Well .   We arrived at approximately 4.00pm and were lucky enough to get the 2 nd to last site in the Camping area. At $3.30 per head for the night who could want more. Well done NT Parks and Wild Life (including Conservation Parks). The light was fantastic for photos and it was a very pleasant evening. In the morning we set off for Tennant Creek and to catch up with Ros and Dale Lindsay, of Relbia in the Launceston region. We arrived at Tennant Creek at approximately 11.0am and did some shopping at the local butcher and then rang Dale to ensure they would be at the Warego Mines. Could only leave a message but next thing they arrived next to our van as we had morning tea. After a great chat and listening to where th...
