d'estrees bay to murray lagoon
Posted on Tuesday, April 20, 2010 at 7:50 PM by dyontoday was a short ride to murray lagoon (24km) on dirt roads. the campsite was next to the rangers headquarters so there was a flushing toilet and lots of water! when we arrived there was a flock of ibis very close by. it was magical.
unfortunately the campsite wasn't on the lagoon so we took a short walk to see some of it. again, it was a little disappointing as we still weren't that close to the lagoon. however, we still did see quite a few birds (marsh harrier, wrens, ibis, etc) which we all enjoyed.
it was bitterly cold at murray lagoon when the sun went down (and as it rose again, kai ended up in most of his clothes and helen's jumper too) and the millipedes came out in force too.
