Myall Lakes - Eco Cabins

Myall Lakes was in the middle of nowhere. It was on a lake and we stayed in Eco Cabins. Hooray! They were nice though.

We (Kristen) were initially a little nervous to stay in the eco cabins that our new tour leader described. However, it turned out that they weren’t that bad and we even had our own room. We shared our cabin with Paul and Emily from England and that night we had Francesca and Andrea from Italy and Katy and Lisa from Boston over to play some card games while enjoying our purchases from the Hunter Valley Wine Region. Eco Cabins came with tannin in the water… needless to say, we waited to shower so we didn’t turn brown… I wish all of you back home could be with us to meet some of the people on our tour. Francesca and Andrea from Italy seem amazing. Francesca speaks more English then Andrea but they are such a great couple and she translates for him all the time. It was neat to have Katy and Lisa there too - they were from so close to home and could appreciate Matt’s attempts at the occasional Boston accent. Playing cards with everyone took a bit to explain American directions, however, Paul and Emily from England taught us a card game from their home. I am starting to get excited to meet people from different places and cultures.

One of the neat perks to staying in the middle of nowhere Australia-ville was the night sky. It was fantastical. There wasn’t any of the ambient city light that drowned out most of the stars - it was so clear that we could see the milky way and tons of constellations including the Southern Cross. That was neat.

Next up we headed to Byron Bay - but we’ll save that for the next post.

Adios!
