Nearly been back for a week, I have worked two days of a new contract, which I am really enjoying! J getting into the routine of early starts and lots of driving to his new job - goodness life will be hectic with school in the mix too.
We stayed in a place called
Bumberrah, much to our children's delight, at the
Tambo Trails by the Ringbark, which we can highly recommend to you!
Being on a pastoral property we did a little yabbying and general mud play!
We spent most of our time on water or in water, below is on a cruise we took around the
Gippsland Lakes, a huge system of water - I couldn't picture in my mind how it all worked until we took the cruise.
We also did plenty of bike riding and little walking hikes!
The River we were staying near was the Tambo River, we also stayed near the
East Gipsland Rail Trail.
On Adventurous day week took a 12km ride with the kids to Bruthen, a
sweet little town with a fab opshop & also it's own
brewery - much to J's joy! We started at the old
Bumberrah train station.
After the ride and a boutique beer we took at dip in the local river in the sand bars (that is an abandoned hand made raft, not toxic waste!)
Throughout the area we stayed there were a lot of these amazing trestle rail bridges - historical engineering amazingness, here I am below looking very impressed.
A walk through the grounds at the historical
Nyerimilang Park, Nungurner. With a spot of bird watching and family embraces, not to mention little leaps of joy.
Of course we took at trip to the
Buchan Caves
Our favourite place was the
Mitchell River and its surrounding natural park. It is a very special place - without any crowds, we enjoyed the river all to ourselves. It is also a very special indigenous site.
