The trip Down the Princess Highway

Sunday morning and time to hit the road for Melbourne. I thought I would take a week and do some free camps, however; there was not much to choose from. Thought I should ask a policeman I saw in the servo about free camps and he was more than helpful. He sent me to the beach front and told me I coud stay one night there, SO nice of him....... when I got there the beach was beautiful and so was the cemerty on the foreshore.
Best keep going and find something before it gets too late.
Lakes Entrance was beautiful so I stopped for some site seeing!  Great display of sculptures (which are dedicated to ou,r ANZACS) in the Marina area.

Nice view from the look out but coudnt see free camp. 😊.

Pulled into Bairnsdale about 6pm and checked into  caravan park. $20 but it was a safe spot, until the rain came. I was under some branches and the leaves sounded like rocks as they hit the roof. Pity I got rid of the kayak, I could have used it to exit my van, the water was a puddle right where the manager told me to park. 
Not to worry it was a nice sunny day so off to Maccas for breakfast with a senior coffee and on the road again.
Stopped at a nice rest area just before Rosedale on Monday to re-arrane a few things that were rattleing in the back of the van ad decided it was a good place to stay for the night
Went to start the car to park in a better place and it was silent in protest. Call to RACQ and a jump start and good to go.  The mechanic told me of a better camp right at Rosedale with plenty of free campers there all the time.

Turned out the people camped next to me lived in the suburb next to Heather (where I was heading) and they were going home on Tuesday morning. Worked out well for me because I woke up to more rain just as they were ready to leave.  Who needs a morning coffee when you can catch an escort right through the city to where you want to go.😎 

Jumped into the driver's seat and the ride began, best decision I've made in 7 weeks😁 straight through to the other side of the city without getting lost. BONUS.
