Gippsland Day 5 - Orbost Area

31 January 2008

First visit on this rainy day was Young's Creek Picnic Area. Its a nice forest area to visit but it started raining and kept it up for most of the day so wasn't able to photograph much wildlife.

Not knowing what to do for the rest of the day I eventually decided to visit Raymond Creek Falls in the south of the Snowy River National Park. Its about 40km from Orbost along dirt roads and a sign did suggest it was a dry weather road only so I took it easy (see map).

I eventually made it in the late afternoon and started walking down the track towards the creek. Despite the rainy weather I still saw some odonata and loved the rocky creek with its cool pools so much I decided to stay the night at the camp ground (slept in the car because it was still rainy).
