We're travelling up to Lakes Entrance as the midpoint between Phillip Island and tomorrows' destination Canberra.
After dropping all our stuff of at the hotel we drove down to the footbridge connected to 90 mile beach and took the opportunity to stretch our legs and walk over the bridge with its lovely views and then along the beach itself, boy was it windy the surf was being blown up into what looks like giant snowdrifts in places, before being blown away to land somewhere else.
On the way back over the bridge we stopped to admire the Pelicans & Black Swans before walking back along the Avenue of Honour stopping to view and take photos of the Avenue of Honour Memorial Statues. The trunks of six of the trees that originally formed the avenue of honour have been preserved and turned into sculptures representing scenes from the World War One period. Sculptures represent a World War One soldier, a wounded soldier with a donkey, a World War One nurse, Simpson helping two wounded soldiers and a family waiting for their father.
