Trip Detail

Day 1 – Saturday 30 th October After a very wet and wild few days we were finally allowed to travel into regional Victoria . We departed on time from BP Officer and headed to Cann River where we planned to base camp for three nights . There was a reasonable amount of traffic but it flowed well enough . Our first stop was at Stratford for lunch at one of the eateries in town . After lunch we sallied forth to Cann River and arrived just before 3pm . It was an easy drive and the convoy was entertained with interesting banter . At Cann River we met up with Peter & Debra Ward who were there a bit earlier as they stayed the night in Sale . We set up camp and then got to know each other over “ fivesees ” before proceeding to the local pub for dinner . We had a campfire courtesy of Alan Sellars and some live orchestral music – Violin ( Veronica ), Guitar ( Martin ), and Guitar ( Peter ). We hit the sack reasonably early and had another short burst of rain to send us to sleep .
