meet me in metung.

Ben is still working in Bairnsdale, but we weren't able to extend our hotel stay at Lakes Entrance - so we decided to relocate to a new area of East Gippsland for a change of scenery. 

Metung is a small town tucked in between Bancroft Bay and Lake King. The main strip includes a post office, convenience store, a couple of boutique shops, a few restaurants, and many docking areas for boats. There are a few walking trails that look beautiful from the outside - but because we're a bit deeper in the country (at least, compared to Melbourne), I'm absolutely certain they're filled with bird-eating snakes and snake-eating spiders, so I haven't ventured too far into the woods yet...

one road to rule them all.

To be honest, by the end of our stay I was starting to get a bit stir-crazy. Our hotel was lovely and had a beautiful view of the bay, but there wasn't much to do in the tiny town - and we were here for almost ten days. With Ben working long hours six days a week, I spent the majority of the time alone. My phone barely got reception, the internet situation was pretty terrible, and there were a few significant power outages throughout the week. Needless to say, Metung was the perfect place to get away from it all, even if it wasn't necessarily by choice! No complaints here though - when it isn't pouring rain, it's a beautiful spot.
