TYERS LAKE
After leaving
Mallacoota, we stopped at Cann River for the best egg and bacon burger and
mediocre coffee.
We checked briefly the
surf at Red Bluff – it had potential. Next was the camp at Tyers Lake – Lake
Beachfront Holiday Park.
A bit of a bush track
to the beach – loved it and the beach looked great and buffed with sandstone
cliffs.
We settled in and I had
a mountain bike ride along the local cliff top tracks. A great ride through
thick bush and dense scrub that formed a tunnel. There were occasional views of
the coastal scenery below and onwards to the north. At the most northern end I
rode along a rainforest track and the wide beach formed by the exit of the
river to the sea. Very pretty and a great ride.
Back at camp, and we
swam in the pool and sat in the sun. Nice.
The late afternoon was
relaxation and having a few wines and beers and a combo of the two.
The camp area is very
pretty. Lots of shady trees, filtering light, protected from the wind and birds
high above.

TYERS LAKE
We drove down to the
lake and wandered around the beach and lake foreshore. It was very pretty and
serene.
We continued to Lakes
Entrance. It was sort of pretty but a bit too commercialized. Not much soul.
On the way back, we
stopped at Lake Bunga. I had a kayak in the lake. It was so pristine and
tranquil – birds, dragonflies, swaying reeds and trees, old bridge and the
remains of small forests of trees that were once above water.
While I was gone,
Jacinta had a walk along the beach and lake. A large black snake swam past her
where I had launched my kayak.
TYERS LAKE
We woke and had a slow
pack as we had a small problem with the van GPS.
Finally, we got going
and stopped at Red Bluff to check the surf. It was pumping at overhead height.
One mistake was putting on a spring suit and rash shirt … just wasn’t warm
enough. It was bearable but I was surfing cold. Anyway, I had a number of fun
waves before the cold got to me and in I went.
Off we went to Phillip
Island.
