Thursday the 10th of December 2020 – Mallacoota, Victoria

Posted on by bebraveontour

Our last full day in Mallacoota before we leave for Bairnsdale tomorrow. Unfortunately our stay in Mallacoota has been disappointing because of the ordinary weather we’ve experienced even for December. The warmest day was yesterday at 21 but its been around 17 with rain and cloud for the majority of our stay here which is not what we expected or hoped for.

We were hoping for good weather to enable Susan to catch us dinner during our time here but that didn’t happen either. Today we had a walk along the beach at Bastion Point over to the actual Mallacoota Inlet. Then we finished off the day at the Golf Club for dinner. Mallacoota has a lot going for it but if the weather is crap then your choices are limited. We’ll come back sometime but later in summer when the weather is more consistent and above all, much better.

This Pelican was waiting for a feed from Susan’s fishing, no doubt he was disappointed too!
The actual Mallacoota Inlet. Water from the Tasman Sea travels thru this Inlet into the lake.
Back in January when the fires raged around Mallacoota, locals and tourists were crowded on the beach watching the fires rage across these cliff tops. Hard to imagine their experience and what it must have been like. Thankfully they were safe but many lost their homes only a few hundred metres from here.
The view from the Golf Club bistro tonight, once again burnt trees so close to the clubhouse show how the course was affected in the fires. I really hope they can come back strong in the time ahead.
