19 - 20 February 2025
We weren't sure how long it would take to get from Colac Colac to Lakes Entrance as Google Maps and our GPS are rarely accurate on windy mountain roads. On the advice of locals we took the road through the Nariel Valley which included 67km of dirt. Despite the unsealed road, it was a spectacular drive, and cut off a significant amount of time from the alternative route via Mitta Mitta.
We arrived at Omeo at morning tea time so called in to a cafe for a cuppa before continuing on. We found a nice picnic area on the Tambo River at Ensay along the Great Alpine Road. We arrived in Lakes Entrance quite early in the afternoon and spent some time in town before heading up to our friends' house. We had met Ruth and Boyd at a campground on Cape York in 2016 and met up with them at a number of camps. Since then we have remained friends and we always try to fit in a visit when we're in the area.

Because of other commitments we could only stay one night. We enjoyed catching up and sharing travel tales, as always, and appreciated the generosity of friends we only see once in a while. We packed up again and headed off towards the south coast of New South Wales.
