I realized that I have become a city girl. After being in charming Mallacoota for a couple of days, with its 3 streets, 2 groceries and 1 bakery, I thought it was time for something bigger again. I love nature, but ONLY nature is just a bit too much for me. So off we went, heading for popular Lakes Entrance, 320 km east of Melbourne. I couldn't wait to have a coffee in a trendy cafe or stroll along some fashionable shops for some serious window shopping. Instead, all I found was an overrated holiday town with not that much too offer, apart from beautiful Ninety Mile Beach.
But, as always in Australia paradise is just around the corner. We discovered the quaint village of Metung about half an hour away, which happened to celebrate its 140th anniversary. The atmosphere was great: live country music, about a hundred happy locals and a sausage sizzle which served the best sausages I had in a lifetime.
Stunning Cape Conran, somewhere between Mallacoota and Lakes Entrance:
desolate, idyllic and perfect for a little stroll on the beach
Morning fun in bed
HUGE success with the kids no matter what time of the day!!
