Lake Colac

After we had our van fixed in Melbourne we drove to a free camp at Lake Colac.  It was a nice camp right on the edge of the lake. The first of many beautiful sunsets we’ll see on the road! The lake edge was full of tall grasses and I was warned there had been a snake sighting.  So to get to the water the kids rode their scooters down to the boat ramp and played there. We found this nest that had fallen sideways.  I’m just so amazed at bird nests, they are so intricate and require so much work to complete.  I can’t believe the way the birds can bend the twigs and weave them together. The large pine cones were beautiful too. We went for a walk and found some trees to climb. Adults included.  Well, one adult anyway.  Can you see him up there? Not quite as high, to Mama’s relief.  🙂 After having our water pump fixed it felt like such a luxury to have water in the van.  We spent time settling in and just enjoying being on the road and getting used to living in the caravan.
