Road to Melbourne / Dec 22-25

We're on the road to Melbourne starting with the ferry from Kangaroo Island.  It's a tight fit.



The road starts with rolling hills punctuated by pine forests.



And views of the ocean.

A subtle driving tip


We were driving past a pine forest, not expecting to see anything when

We spent two nights in Robe on the sea



A gentle reminder
For good reason


By the sea


Look out for ????

Blue crater lake in Mt Gambier.  The water is unbelievably blue.

On the beach at Nelson.


'Chirp, chirp'


Port Fairy

When we arrived at our lodgings (Christmas eve) we were told 'No room at the inn'!  Fortunately, we found another place in downtown Port Fairy.

It's Christmas Eve in Port Fairy!  Bouncy castles, cotton candy and crying children.



We had dinner in this 150 year old pub

Down at the harbour

 

The Great Ocean Road

Wow!

Stormy Melbourne

Closer to Melbourne, a storm is brewing



 The road signs warned of severe storms and flash floods.

Will we make it to Melbourne?
A small hint


Stay tuned.
