Road trip with dogs day 6

Lakes Entrance on Victorian coast

Another veiw of Lakes Entrance

Typical scene of hay bales in country Australia
We travelled from Orbost to Warburton today.  We manage to choose routes where the traffic is particularly light.  We turned off the main highwat at Moe and headed north, hoping for pretty scenery.  We were not disappointed,  We found ourselves winding along forestry roads through the mountains, with wonderful forests of mountain ash.  We had to dodge two loaded logging trucks, a bit scarey!  The weather got gloomier and gloomier and gloomier as we progressed.  When we got back out onto the highway the mountains ahead were covered with ominous black clouds and we realised there was no way we were going to miss the rain.  Just as we got into Warburton the heavens opened up and we couldn't see the road.  We got quite disoriented in the rain.  When we finally found the caravan park there was about 6 inches of water over the camping spots.  We asked for a cabin - too tired to deal with the wet! and were lucky one was available, which we took for 2 nights.  We can't have the dogs inside but we are allowed to kennel them in their crate on the veranda.  They are quite comfortable with plastic over their crate to keep the wind off them!  And the kitchen in the cabin is really good.  I'm enjoying the cooking without so many constraints!
