Fitzroy River to Portland to Nelson

Day 7

Sunday 8th February 2009


Kim left from Fitzroy River Reserve on her bike and headed for Portland (about 35klms). She hit reserve on her fuel supply just before coming into Narrawong and stopped at the service station/small shop (the only shop in Narrawong). Unfortunately, the service station part had closed down years ago but the owner hadn’t sign posted it. Kim used one of her small fuel tanks that she carries and continued into Portland.


KIM LOOKING TIRED FROM RIDING




We shopped in Portland for groceries and continued on to our target of the Nelson Pub.

Kim found the riding easy going and enjoyed the sections of State Forest, natural bushland and open road with farmland either side. There was hardly any traffic and no sign of the fires to the north and east. She arrived in Nelson and we headed straight for the Pub and Restaurant Ten years ago when we were in the same area, Kim had a few counter meals at the Nelson Pub (while Kieran and I had disappeared for a day & night up the river canoeing). Kim has never stopped talking about the food. We stopped around noon and had our counter meals and decided we might stay for the night at the local caravan park - nicely positioned next to the Glenelg River inlet.

We have had a few walks and might do some fishing off the jetty tonight.
