Woke up in Lakes Entrance, it turned out to be a ghost city yesterday,since everything closes at 5 p.m. and people just disappear, the only things
opened are Fish&Chips bistros :) . Anyways...we're getting near the border with NSW and had just a couple of places we wanted to visit before spending
a night in Mallacoota. The first thing on our itinerary was Marlo Inlet, a place where Snowy River meets the Sunny sea,creating a beautiful
delta. Next were the Cabbage Palm Trees. Now some of you might wonder how somebody finds these Palm trees...well it's easy, follow the road signs
for 60 or so KM from Marlo,then turn onto a gravel road, drive on it for half an hour, and when a first wallaby passes your route you're getting
close. We ran into 2 before reaching the Palm Trees, and the whole ride there we were the only people on the road. Emphasis on people :)
The last thing of the day was Croajingolong NP (National Park) and the famous Point Hicks. It was the first piece of land that the crew of Endeavour layed their sight on. For the ingorants reading
this blog, Endeavour was a ship that brought Captain Cook to Australia in 1770. The scenery is beautiful but it takes a 60km drive on a gravel road to get there.
But it is a historic landmarks deserving of the walk/ride/hike :)
Tomorrow we leave Victoria and head towards Canberra, the politics city of Australia.....till next time.

Zbudila sva se v Lakes Entrance, mesto po 5 popoldne enostavno umre,saj je zaprto prav vse razen fast food restavracij. Kakorkoli že...bližava
se meji z NSW in na spisku je bilo samo še nekaj točk vrednih ogleda. Prva je bila mesto Marlo kjer se Snežna reka sreča s sončnim morjem in ustvari
prekrasno delto. Naslednje na spisku so Cabbage Palm Trees (Zeljnate Palme). Verjetno se nekateri izmed vas sprašujejo,kako priti do njih? Enostavno.
Slediš cestnim znakom kakih 60km, nato zaviješ na makadam,se po njemu voziš kake pol ure in ko ti 2 ali 3 kenguru prekriža pot si blizu cilja :)
Vsaj tako je bilo z nama, celo pot namreč nisva srečala žive duše....Avstralija pač.
Zadnja stvar na spisku je bil Croajingolong NP (narodni park) in v njemu Point Hicks. Točka,ki jo je kot prvo ugledala posadka ladje Endeavour.
Za tiste izmed vas ki ne poučujete zgodovine (ata Ovnič, lep pozdrav ;) ) je bila to ladja s katero je kapitan Cook leta 1770 odkril Avstralijo.
Sama narava ja po pričakovanju prekrasna,vendar te do nje pelje 60km makadamske ceste. Kljub vsemu gre za zgodovinsko znamenitost vredno ogleda in spoštovanja.
Jutri zapuščava zvezno državo Victoria in se odpravljava v Canberra , politično prestolnico Avstralije...do takrat vsem lep pozdrav.
