Slept like a baby, which is just as well as the immediate neighbours at our motel this morning in Mt Gambier were the selfish type. 6.50am there they are outside our room banging muddy boots on the brick wall to get them clean to wear again today!!! If I had some boots I would have thrown them at them.....
Oh well, an early start to the day is good....yes?
Breakfast at Maccas, (not done that in years), then onto Bunnings for the obligatory couple of hours. We bought some batteries, the others got a hose and a bucket!
Did manage to resist the Saturday morning sasuage sizzle at the front door though.
After that we went to look at the famous Blue Lake. Stunning.

From Pt Mcdonnell we made our way to Portland along a road that mostly ran beside the coastline. Different and pretty.
When we got to Portland we had lunch at a lovely little bar/cafe near the water. Great food and good service.
Then we went down to the boat ramps as there used to be a big seal and some stingrays hanging around but all we saw was a small seal and a couple of shags fishing in the shallows and waiting to see if any fishermen threw them the offcuts when cleaning their catch.
From there we went out to Cape Nelson and saw ....... a lighthouse.
We also saw lots of generator windmills.
Was a great couple of days and our thanks to the tour guides. Hope they had fun too!

Sounds like a great road trip!
ReplyDeleteVery cool Ma, you're definitely winning the Mother-in-law of the year award. I have a very impressed hubby looking up the lighthouses in his various books.
