TALLANGATTA

Well what a day we had today! We travelled to Tallangatta then 15kms. down the Omeo Highway to a campsite where we had lunch and luckily we decided to check the TV reception as we were deep in a valley of the Mitta Mitta River heading up towards Mt.Bugong. But as the Royal Wedding was to be telecast on the TV tonight it was imperative that we had TV reception, but alas no reception up this valley anyway! So we thought it wise to back track until we obtained reception and guess what! - we only ended up about 5kms further on from where we left this morning! We left from a camp called " Ludlows Reserve" (see photo) and we ended up camping in a reserve\boat ramp at a small place called "Huon" on the edge of Lake Hume again. Anyhow tomorrow we will head up the Omeo Highway as we hope to get to Bairnsdale early next week in order to pickup our mail at the post office there. But we probably will not have any phone or internet coverage over the week-end as we will be deep into the Victorian Alps passing Mt. Bogong etc.. (Cold too probably!)
