From our travels in December… We stayed in Portland, Victoria for a few nights.  It was surprisingly cold while we were there given that it was summer.  While there we headed out to Cape Bridgewater to have a look at the views.  There were supposed to be blowholes here but we didn’t see any, just some spectacular waves crashing against the rocks. It was incredibly windy.  Very, very, very windy. Which makes it a good location to place some windmills, … Read More

My toddler wandered up the path so I followed him for a game of hide-and-seek and another view of the beach. There was plenty to explore. Someone learned how to hang on to the boogie board, … Read More

Nearby is an … Read More

See the pier? We walked down the beach toward the lighthouse, then around the point.    You can see from the map above that when you round the point (right behind these rocks) you are no … Read More

We’ve been to Warrnambool several times and stayed in this same caravan park.  We decided to spend nearly a week here, in a familiar place, to just relax, hit the beach, and adjust to life on the road.  This lifestyle is a big adjustment and we needed time to settle in a bit. As soon as we got there the kids were begging to go to the beach.  Little did they know it would be so windy and cold!  We … Read More
