Gear Review: Bloody Primus gas cooker is fucked. Gas leaks out the hose connection and was on fire. Need to get a new hose or a whole new cooker. Still not sure yet where the issue exactly is...

Food: Cereal, bacon & eggs, hot dogs, magic noodles, tuna packets, wraps, rice crackers & hommus, bangers & mash, lasagna, corn cobs, hamburgers, pasta & red sauce, pub meal at buchan etc etc. 

Report: What a wicked place. Soooo much to see. Should have done the full deddick tk and the staircase, but full car with kids and no convoy vehcile we chickened out - oh and it was wet and slippery with rain, so maybe wise call. Lots of flies, as the locals call it "Buchan Flies". McKillops Bridge was awesome, great spot, pristine river to chill and swim. Next time take lilo's drive up to mckillips bridge and float down to the campsite. Little River George is wicked (Victoria's deepest George), well worth a look. Need to also drive Armstrong Tk, that apparently is a sweet track. Spent a fun night with some hippies on my birthday of the 30th before heading home the following day. Was going to spend a few nights at a campsite somewhere around lakes entrance, but little sam was done. 

Rating: 8.5/10.
