THE GREAT OCEAN ROAD

In mid March we moved along to Peterborough, a central location on THE GREAT OCEAN ROAD a very tidy park with lovely amenities, not always found at other parks.  On the one side was Bass Strait and the other was Curdies Creek, lots of green grass as opposed to gravel and plain dirt.
From here we travelled back and forward along the Road turning into the many viewing spots to observe the might of the sea and the effect it had on the limestone cliffs, imaginatively named 'The Twelve Apostles' (now only nine in number) 'London Bridge' 'Bay of Islands' etc.etc.  Sometimes there was quite a walk to observe a blowhole or whatever and some days could be quite tiring, specially when the temperature climbed to 30 degrees.
On the Sunday morning - before John watched the Melbourne Grand Prix, we went up to the corner and observed a vintage car rally as it went past - they are so beautifully restored shiny and bright.
One trip was back to a historic and quaint little township called "Port Fairy", the name of which had me wondering,  but I was told it was after a ship called Fairy which sheltered there in 1828.  The beautiful 19th century buildings have been in the main, sensititively joined by other constructions over the years which match their beauty, we took a walk and identified some of them and explored the port which has a flourishing fishing industry.
On our way home we visited another volanic crater, locally named Tower Hill and on the way to the bottom which was only wetlands - not a lake - we encountered an echidna, kangaroos and emu, probably many other creatures were in the bush also, but not showing themselves to us.
On the way home we passed through Warrnambool and took the opportunity to grocery shop and refuel,
wow we get through a lot of fuel - I figure we will be financially much better off when we get home, not driving such long distances and consuming so much diesel.
