Day 17, Canberra to Batemans Bay - Lake George Wineries

(resolution on camera changed itself and i didn't notice!!)

Lake George is the dryest lake I've ever seen.
There's no water, not even a trace of water, not in a long time. The large flat, crater-like plain stretches out between the hills, flanked on all sides by vineyards clinging onto the sides of the dry hills. The road smells dusty, my fingers feel dry. Along the few dirt tracks off the main stretch innovative and ornate mailboxes sit in rows.
I think there's a bit of competition between neighbours on this front.
