| Thurra River |
After spending 2 nights in a motel in Orbost(our 17th anniversary), we proceeded to Croajingalong NP. This national park follows the wild and unspoiled coastline of East Gippsland from border of NSW to Bemm River. There are a few campgrounds in the park and we chose Thurra River.

| Kayaking in Muellers River |
With the river and the sea, there is plenty to do. We took our kayaks for a spin at Muellers River, went over to Honeymoon Bay for snorkeling and fishing and on our last day, visited the Point Hicks Lighthouse.
While Honeymoon Bay was a disappointment, very much unlike its name, the visit to the lighthouse was a pleasant surprise. Our timing couldn't be more perfect. The caretaker was driving up and gave us a lift at the back of his ute, thus saving us a 2km walk. Then he opened the lighthouse and allowed us in. It was my first time in a lighthouse, walking all the way up to the top. The only downside was that we were not allowed out at the top due to the gale-force wind at the time.
