RV TRAVEL
The everyday pressures of life were getting to us and during the winter months it ' s not always pleasant touring . We spotted a break in the weather and a trip up the east coast through Gippsland and potentially into New South Wales chasing some better weather was an opportunity we had to grab .
With the Ultimate hooked up , the dog in the back and us up front , we pointed the nose of the Cruiser north-east . Heading to Sale first for a few supplies , we tracked along the back roads to Golden Beach and the first of our dogfriendly camping areas .
Maffra Brewery and Distillery .
NO FIRM PLANS
The rain had been left behind in Melbourne , and we arrived at Golden Beach with plenty of time to set-up camp and enjoy a walk on the beach with our pooch , Pena . I have to admit it ' s hard not to smile at the enthusiasm of a young dog on the beach .
Back at camp with the fire going and a cold bevvie in hand , we started planning the rest of the journey . When we looked at the weather map , we soon realised we would be better off staying in the area for the next few days as it was going to be nicer than heading further north . That was a bonus for the fuel consumption factor , too .
This was the fun part : no firm plans and plenty of info about what to explore . Being outside school holidays and the summer peak period also meant we could avoid crowds in our choice of camping spots .
