We called in on friends at Nowra and Tathra. Our stay at Tathra was extended by a week as I had a severe nose bleed which resulted in a few trips to A&E. In the end I had a "balloon" up my nose for three days, after the one inserted overnight failed to stop the bleeding.
The second balloon was inflated with 8ml of air, double the amount of the first balloon (pictured above), which distorted my nose even more. My eye kept weeping and I couldn't stand wearing my glasses. On the 2nd day Brandt deflated the balloon. There was a lot of relief when the balloon was removed and there was no sign of any bleeding. I have hardly blown my nose since and have learned to sneeze with my mouth open.
We travelled south via Gippsland driving via Lakes Entrance.
The weather was quite wet, so we made a detour to Rye, stayed there 6 days,
One day we noticed a funnel web spider's home, but on investigation found that it was empty (evidently they can be quite vicious when disturbed so maybe it was just as well the home was vacant and I have to make do with online images of the funnel web spider)
We then went to visit a friend at Werribee. Finally, we made it to Greens Lake to catch up with Grey nomad friends who were waiting there for us. Greens Lake is a free camp with toilet facilities only and it is where a lot of our friends spend the summer months.
