Day 1 8/2/2022. Our 5 day cycle tour along the Snowy River gave us a tantalising glimpse of east Gippsland. A week later we headed off in the car to explore east of Lakes Entrance to Mallacoota and the NSW border.
Our first stop was the Port of Sale where we visited the canal and the old swing bridge at the Junction of the Latrobe and Thompson rivers.
We continued on to Lakes Entrance were we crossed the foot bridge for a walk on the 90 mile surf beach. About 20 km further east we turned into the Lake Tyers Forest reserve and took the burnt bridge road to cherry tree picnic ground, which is along Stoney Creek.
There were a few people fishing in the quiet brown tree lined waters, so we took some rods and had a go ourselves. We did not have any luck, even though there were fish jumping everywhere.
A nice fellow gave us two nice sized black beam that we cooked on the wood BBQ in the picnic grounds. It was such a nice peaceful place we decided to stealth camp.
Day 2 – 09/2/2022 Woke to a cool, damp misty morning beside the creek at Cherry Tree picnic ground. We packed our tent before everybody arrived and spent the morning along the waterway. I attempted to catch fish whilst Andy chased birds.
Late morning we drove to Lake Tyers Beach, which was more of a town than we imagined, there were heaps of houses, shop, tavern and caravan parks, Quite a nice little place.
