Gippsland Day 4 - Errinundra National Park

30 January 2008

I got out of Snowy River NP straight away that morning. However turning the corner after leaving the campground I startled a flock of Rainbow Bee-eaters. I tried to get photos of them but they kept their distance. I'd never seen these attractive birds before so this lifted my spirits.

After crossing McKillop Bridge I made several stops along the Deddick River until getting lost in Errinundra National Park, ending up going the wrong way down a couple of roads and then my fuel light went on. I actually hate the way my car does this – the light went on just after saying there was 140km left in the tank. Once the light goes on the trip computer stays black with regards to range so I was only guessing but being about 100km from Orbost I felt reasonably safe I'd make it back to civilisation.

Here's a map of my trip. It a bit inaccurate as Google has some bugs in the tracks south of the NP and I actually did a big circle of about 40km (where point C is the south-east of that circle). Point D is nothing special, just something I put on there to tell Google Maps to go back on the main road.
