Day 22 – Tarra Bulga and Snowy River NP
We said goodbye to our gracious hosts and left Fish Creek en route to place called Tarra Bulga National Park, on the strength of the pictures in a tourist brochure that we picked up. Located in the Tarra Valley, visiting this site involved a drive up a narrow winding road, often single lane, with signs stating “Caution Log Trucks”. Brilliant!
It was totally worth the drive, though. We saw Lyrebirds!
About beautiful temperate rainforest looked at, we headed on. During the next leg, we passed the Lou Yang power station. The infrastructure was immense. Not a planned visit, but interesting nonetheless. Worth seeing how most of our electricity still gets produced.
We headed past the town of Buchan (we’ll be back here tomorrow), and on to the very southern tip of the Snowy River National Park. There, we found a small camp called Bailey Hooley and set up. Right next to the honest-to-God Snowy River!
It was lovely, and cold, and we all enjoyed splashing around in it. It was a great campsite, made all the better but some other people that our kids adopted for the evening. Thanks, reluctant babysitters!
