What better way to start the trip than to zip down the coast from Sydney to Mallacoota?

We assembled at Folly Farm, like coiled springs ready to pounce into action!

But first, some scones!

And a photo!

Let's go!

Indian file

Slicing through Nowra CTR, we hit the south coast...

... and followed it!

A quick refuel at Merimbula

Past Green Cape Lighthouse

(The aviation term for this is "Whee!")

Around Gabo Island

And followed our GPS to Gipsy Point Lodge!

(It's in there somewhere)

Say hi to the locals

Plenty of room at the inn!

Standard Rotorheads Marshalling technique

"SIT! STAAAAAY!"

We sat on the deck...

... watched the birds settle in for the night...

... and did likewise!
