Welcome to Bairnsdale....
And so i'm back....
After 2 weeks spent in the technological wilderness of rural Victoria.....
More specifically in a sleepy coastal town called Bairnsdale.... 350 km out of Melbourne....and seemingly even further from anything to do....
Bairnsdale is essentially a town full of retiring pensioners with money to splurge on elegant holiday homes along the coast and along the canal network that works way inland and makes up the Gippsland Lake system along which our own accomodation was built....
Speaking of which, the accomodaion was incredible.....twas a lil holiday resort which was right on the water...with our own personal jetty( not like we had anything to moor on it but thats not the point...)
Tis the view from our living room at 6 in the morning....
The waterway you see leads out to the lakes which we traversed on 2 occasions.....
One.....in a dignified ( read: rather boring) ferry cruise....
Tis jereme, carol and shasti enjoying the vibrant, dynamic view of 2 hours of vast, open water...
No...i'm not a fan of too much scenery watching...especially when the its such that it knocks me off to sleep, i wake up and scenery has yet to change...
Right after this photo was taken I was chided by the tour manager for being plugged in to my music when there was all this nature to enjoy...
What the heck was he going on about!!...How enjoyable can the droning flatulence of a his little ferry possibly be....gdness....these rural folk have seriously gone too deep into their keeping nature natural nonsense.....
Our second rather more exciting trip down he lakes....was when the above mentioned 3 and yours truly rented out kayaks and took on the waterways on our own....
Unfortunately, the fact that we ended up IN instead of On the freezing cold lakes on a number of occasions justified our decision to cameraless....and as such there is no photographic record of our clumsy adventures
