Well I am back from camping, which was fantastic. We were camping next to an inlet with tiny islands and very close to the beach too. Australians love to camp, and this campground at Mallacoota was huge, with almost every in massive 2 or 3 room tents. There was a lot of boats and one of them was being hauled by a red Niva, just like the one I had in Armenia! On the outskirts we passed a tiny hill named Mt. Ararat, I have pictures of it, but it is really quite pathetic. Anyway, tomorrow I will see wine country and the rest of the week I hope to relax and catch my breath before the next trip.

When I was trying to nap, I thought of some things I had been meaning to include in this log, and so now that I am in front of the computer again, and ready to add them, I forget. Typical. Well one of the things was that there was a big Armenian clan camping across the way from us, and a few sites over. We didn't talk much, but I was impressed that they had been going there for 18 years and were staying a month almost. Ah yes, I also wanted to mention that we went through loads of bush, where I saw few kangaroos and birds, caught a few fish (3), were given some fish by some people nearby, and caught some prawns (13 of them to be exact). So the catch was not too great, but we were impeded with handicaps like getting out of bed slowly (I was reading some Grisham books) and a bit of windiness. Prawn are incidentally NOT the same as shrimp, although I can't really say what the difference is. You can find out online I am sure. We did some offroading which was a joke compared to Armenia. The dirt roads were better than many of Armenia's old paved roads, and we never even needed 4WD in the 5 hours or so we were offroad. Hmmm, what else did I mean to log about? Oh we had a great hike along the coast, over remote beaches and cliffs and a nice sea cave. Alright, I think that was most of what I wanted to say.
