Day 8 - Lakes Entrance to Orbost

A hot and humid day with thunderstorms around us but, somehow, we stayed dry.  

It was a day of rolling hills and quiet tracks as we followed the East Gippsland Rail Trail to its terminal town of Orbost. There were many enormous wooden tressle bridges on our route but none deemed passable by bicycles, so it was a steep descent followed by a sharp climb instead.  

Prize for the most supportive township goes to Nowa Nowa, who had a full bicycle maintenance setup with pump, tools and bike stand. Great thinking.
