Warragul

 12 – 17 February 2023

We stopped and had lunch in the park at Lake Weeroona before going to pick up the camper trailer. We then had to drive back towards Melbourne, skirting around the city and then rejoining the highway on our way to Warragul.

We had booked a few nights in a cabin as we had arranged for the trailer to have some canvas work done locally. We were able to set the trailer up near the cabin to empty it our ready to deliver it in the morning.

With our few days we spent the time washing, reorganising and doing some cooking so we would have some meals in the freezer for those long days when we needed an easy and quick dinner.

We spent some time exploring the town and have to say the people in Warragul would be among the friendliest we have met. Everyone we spoke to was so helpful, and welcoming.

The weather was quite hot so we chose a slightly cooler day to go exploring in the Mount Worth State Forest. We drove up the mountain to Moonlight Creek Picnic Area and set off on one of the easier walks along the creek and then back via the ridge. Mick was delighted to catch a glimpse of a lyrebird after hearing it calling near the start of the track, but it didn’t stay still long enough for a photo. After the walk we made a cup of coffee and sat in the picnic area hoping for the lyrebird to come back. No, it didn’t.

There were good walks and a nice picnic are at Moonlight Creek

Once we had collected the trailer we had to set it up again to repack it ready to set off on the next leg of our trip. We had decided that going up into the mountains for some more hot days would be a good idea so we chose Tarra Valley as our destination.
