Day 4











Echidna from the other day.




Another night of howling winds but with less down pours. The night sky when clear is the most stunning sight to be seen, over the years we have had the pleasure of viewing the wonders of the stars but this is the best by far.
Today we ventured west to Port Campbell, visiting all the viewing spots of the coast along the way. The high light for me was at Gibbons Steps where we were able to climb down the stairs to the beach and see the apostles from ground level.
I don’t think you could ever become tired of seeing these natural wonders, stunning! With the changes of light, crashing waves always a different aspect to viewing.
Fish & chips for the 3rd day running were had!!! That is what happens when Ben is around, No way are we having it again tomorrow.....And I will ask this question “Why doesn’t any cook the good old fashion potato scallop anymore?? Why do they think the frozen type is a suitable substitute?”
Ben was happy on the trip home as he was able to tick another animal of his list to see in the wild, finally he saw a fox!!
We have enjoyed a Power tradition of cheeses for afternoon tea with a cool beverage in preparation for our 2nd attempt at platypus hunting. Wish us luck.....
Also we have been waiting all day for news of Brooke’s baby but at the time of publishing still no news, so you will have to wait till tomorrow for that news.
