Christmas 2013

On Christmas Day 2013, I drove to Port Albert thinking it would be great to have fish and chips beside the sea, only to find the fish and chips place closed, together with the pub and the general store. I drove back up the highway and had a traditional roast dinner in the pub at Alberton, between Port Albert and Yarram. Then I drove via a roundabout route to the C482 and headed northwards, only to turn off when I saw a sign for Carrajung Cemetery. Carrajung is a tiny hamlet, and I did not know it had a cemetery. It was up a steep, rough bush track and is overgrown by bush, having existed for only a short period. There is only one obvious grave, that of a Boer War veteran. You could search through the bush for remnants of others, but I did not bother.
