Walking back to the cars and moving on to our next campsite was the main objective of the day. After eating breakfast and while the kids were busy catching fish in their trangia pots, we packed up camp.
The hidden canoe was found a short distance away stashed in the undergrowth but without an oar, it wasn't much good. Perhaps next time we will have an opportunity to play in it.
The walk out seemed steeper and longer than the previous day. Perhaps that had something to do with our tired legs. The river crossing finally emerged and the cool water soothed some sore feet. Onwards we trudged reaching the cars just after noon. Talk of hot chips for lunch saw us detour past Wonboyn Lake only to have our spirits dampened with a sign on the general store saying 'shop closed back at 3.30pm.' I had vague memories of seeing a general store on the main highway not too far away so off we went in search of hot food.
It was a short distance past the turnoff to our next campsite that the general store came into view. It was open and sold hot food. We enjoyed hot chips, burgers and ice creams!
