A relaxing week..

Our home for this week doesn’t officially have a name. It is on the road between Orbost and Marlo on the side of the Snowy River. The camp area had been highly recommended to us by Ron and Rhonda, because it had a beautiful sandy beach where the kids could splash around in the water. However, when we got there, there was no sign of any beach and the river was flowing in rapids. In fact the road had been closed last week because the river had broken its banks and flooded the whole area.

We decided to stay here anyway because it is a nice grassy area where the kids can play. It is only a short drive to Marlo, where The Snowy meets the ocean and Cape Conran is about 20 mins along the coast.

We have had a fairly relaxing week here, spending a lot of time reading and playing games. I re-discovered how much of a nerd my husband is when he started teaching Sam how to play Dungeons and Dragons. And I discovered how much of a nerd Sam is when he fell in love with the game!

We are still really enjoying our trip and love living on the road. The school holidays and Easter are in a couple of weeks, and we thought it was a good idea to book into a caravan park in Eden for the holidays. The kids are really missing their friends, and they are looking forward to the company of other kids over the break. We would normally prefer to travel greater distances than we have been, but we are simply killing time until we get to Eden. Although there is not much to do here, it is nice to slow down and discover what it’s like to live a more simple life!
