The few spots of rain this morning were not enough to deter the four hardy individuals who set off at 9am for a round of golf. We had the usual ups and downs, good shots and bad, but all agreed it was a pretty good way to spend the morning. The course was quite scenic with views to the lake and Bass Straight – very nice.
Marion and Kevin decided to take a ride on their bikes into town and explore a bit while Gary and I, after a quick bite to eat, set off to Neyerimilang. This is a heritage park and homestead not far out of Lakes Entrance. There are also numerous picnic spots and walks you can take. We limited ourselves to the homestead, gardens and gift shop where we acquired some exotic soap – goats milk with charcoal and red clay – goodness knows what colour we will be after trying that! The homestead, built in 1884 is magnificent with many original fixtures, and the gardens were amazing. Much of this work is now carried out by volunteers.
After spending some time at Neyerimilang, we headed off to Metung, a village that we passed while cruising yesterday. We had seen the Metung Hotel from the water and thought it would be a nice place for a meal or drink so thought we would check it out. Ironically, while we were sitting there having our drink, looking over the fabulous vista, the Lonsdale sailed past, so we got to view our cruise boat from the shore.
Back at the caravan park and Gaz decided to watch a couple of races, (it was Saturday afternoon after all), while I rode my bike into town, locked her up, and then walked across the footbridge to the Main Beach. It had really warmed up by this time and was a very pleasant outing.
It was then time for some R&R, reading our books, before we prepared dinner as it was our turn to cook. Another yummy BBQ followed by apple pie and custard. Mmmm. After such a scrumptious repast, we settled down to the decider of the Euchre Championship. It was close, so close, but I must advise that Kevin and Marion came out the winners by a whisker.
