Day 4- 5; 27 - 28.3.08 To Cape Conran via Orbost and Marlo
Packed as quickly as we could this morning, but we are still getting the hang of the best places to store equipment that is needed frequently and that which is needed less frequently.
Olivia and Ruby are keen to help and are beginning to notice the pattern to the packing system and have started to assume their own roles to oversee. Jassy and Daisy are really keen to help in any way possible and do so in bursts, until something else takes their fancy.
Drove from Buchan to Orbost on the “back road’. Very picturesque!!
Arrived in Orbost at about 11.30 a.m. and set about stocking up the pantry as we were expecting to be bush camping at Croajingolong N.P. with no power or flushing toilets for the next 5 or 6 days. Ended up spending far too long stocking up. So we had lunch on the steps of the Shire Offices and decided to head for Marlo and then Cape Conran instead.
Cape Conran was a lovely secluded spot set amongst coastal banksia trees about 100 metres from the beach. The beach here was also magnificent. You had to bring your own firewood in to the park and we didn’t have any so spend a reasonably chilly night without a fire. There was however a highlight when during the evening we had few furry visitors to our camp, one of which was the quite rare Long nosed Bandicoot, which is apparently making a comeback to the area following a fox eradication program.
We went to bed very pleased with our day’s adventure and also our choice of camping spot.

Hi Getsons,
Hope you are having a great trip - have viewed your blog, great stuff. Maybe we can catch up in Darwin or beyond, will be in touch when you get closer, take care,
Love from Ellks's
Hi all,
Well done all on actually doing it. Though I'm sending Trish up to check your garage - you could just be pulling a swifty on us and are really just camped out in there. Remember that so called 'moon landing' the Americans pretended happened? I've seen Capricorn One! And as for that stuffed long-nosed bandicoot - produce the moving vision baby. Next you'll be claiming you've seen a thylacine!
Anyway, that's some haircut you've got going there Lukey - can you get a photo of yourself against a wall with height indication lines?
Love to all - Mad
Confirmed - it is snot lol Shark
