Good Morning everyone....woke up to a cool but clear morning and I've taken a picture from across the kitchen table to the view we are looking out onto.
backdoor view......
Leaving behind our house in Port Fairy we were soon on the road heading for some much anticipated antique shopping.....
arriving in such haste that we found the store closed even though it was 10:00am. There were some interesting finds like this obviously well loved steam tractor,
and equally cherished plowing equipment.
Peter and John were less interested in antiques and more intested in heading back on to the open road. But the girls were not to be outsmarted so we found a "Ray's Outdoor Store" for the boys and a craft/fabric shop for us and harmony was restored.
The first stop our coastal adventure was Bay of Islands....
....and not to long after was Bay of Martyrs.....
...were we all took the same picture from the same outlook point.......
even the four legged tourists were taking in the fresh air and breathtaking views.....
I have to add these pictures as the variety of native plant life was pretty amazing too!
Again back into the Kia and the next stop would have to be my second favorite....The Grotto.
....wait for it.....
From The Grotto we went on to London Bridge.....
Loch Ard Gorge.....
and the ultimate tourist photo opportunity....The 12 Apostles...of which only half are remaining!
Now it is getting close to dusk and we have a ways to go to our next resting spot for the night so back into the Kia and a drive through Port Campbell and a stop in Timboon for a cheese tasting at the Mousetrap. Back in the Kia and on to Dunkeld at the foot of the Southern Grampians to our B&B for the night.
Day 3 has come to an end and we are all wonderfully exhausted and looking forward to tucking in for the night. Tomorrow has more surprises instore for us.
