Quiet time and a swim

On our way back through Dargo, we stopped off at the public hall again for some quick wifi access to check weather etc. We ducked back to the camper to relax for a bit, but not before going to check out the river. Pup ran! It was so bloody weird, he even went over and said hello to the neighbours, who is this dog? Making the most of his freedom without his lead attached to his harness. He did have a short nap when we got back to the camper but it was so hot at 35 degrees. We were flicking around the 4wd books and realised that our plan for the next 2 days might not work. We'd planned to leave the camper at Dargo and go for a 2 day trek around Wonnangatta hut, but looking at the maps, the majority of the tracks are national parks, which won't work to camp in the rooftop with Pup somewhere along the track. The main one Ben wanted to do is Billy Goats Bluff, which we were thinking we could make work on it's own for a day trip. We decided to go back to wifi to google some of the camping options along the original 2 day track. No luck though. So we'll do BGB tomorrow and figure out a way back, then head towards the western end of the Lakes on Wednesday, we've got a spot booked at Paradise Beach which Parks Victoria run, but it's dog friendly. It also works out well with the forecast, it's meant to rain late wed/Thursday morning here at Dargo, which would be a nightmare, as a wet pack up is always terrible. Even moreso since we have our originally planned airbnb booked for 3 nights in Lakes entrance, so if the camper was wet and packed up for a few nights, it wouldn't be good for anyone. Back to the camper to change into swimmers and to freshen up in the river. I went in first and Pup followed, walking right on in. He's never been anti water, but we definitely didn't expect him to walk in as deep as he did on his own, we didn't call him or anything. Pup does love being ON the water, often on our paddleboards or a boat, but in? His face will tell you otherwise, but considering he walked himself in and didn't try to walk out for a while, tells us he couldn't have hated it too much.
After a bit, we headed back, dried off and enjoyed being outside. Pup didn't enjoy that part so much, but he was too damp to go straight up onto his bed. Chicken wraps for dinner before some netflix and an early night.Läs mer
