        Day 4.

          Wake up to a light rain but before we are ready to leave the shoalhaven Caravan Village the rain became a down pour for about 25 minutes 

           not the best caravan park we have been in.

          When we got going the plan of a walk around the wet lands was given away so our plan B was to head to Kiama and the blow hole just as we 

          Park the car the power pole exploded and the wire blew apart after a photo stop back in the car it was decided Bev’s place was the next stop as the

          rain had set in we arrived at Bev and Ian’s 1400.

         about this guard ran a train out of Orbost and never had a train to change over with but always got back home so we turned off and down the gravel
