Mo here,
On New Year's Day Cass and I woke up relatively early to make our way back towards her hometown. We drove along the highway next to the ocean nearly the whole way and stopped in Narooma, NSW the first night. We got in pretty late and had a nice Italian dinner together then went for a walk along the ocean path. In the morning we wanted to go swimming but it was too cold so we went for another walk along the ocean and saw the infamous Australia Rock (rock negative naturally in the shape of Australia).
Back on the road in the morning Cass and I drove further down the coast to Lakes Entrance, VIC. On the way we stopped in no man's land between New South Wales and Victoria. Lakes Entrance is, as the name suggests, a fishing town with a small inlet to a 400 square kilometer network of lakes. Cass and I wanted to have a nice dinner along the water but had trouble finding a place that had room for us. We ended up settling for the classic fish and chips and ate in the car. After dinner we found the local movie theater which also randomly has squash courts. We saw The Secret Life of Walter Mitty which is quite a good movie (recommended to see).
