Around The World In 80 Waves

I took the road east, cutting across the corner of the landscape in South East Australia.

There really isn’t much here and I must have been driving for hours through a forest of Gum trees. I think it must have stretched for hundreds of kilometres and there was barely a soul along the road.

A little further I crossed the Snowy River although I was some way downstream from the massive dam and hydro electric power station.

Built in the Snowy Mountains it is similar in scale to the Hoover Dam which I had seen earlier on my travels. I don’t have the time to see it or the inclination to play with fire (in this case snow) up in the mountains again.

After a long day of driving I arrive at Eden on the southern coast of New South Wales. However it is no paradise for me because the sea is virtually flat.

I check out a couple of beaches but there really isn’t much going on and I decide to use some time catching up on the backlog of blog posts and doing some essential administration, hoping that the swell will have picked up tomorrow.
