Boolarra and then Phillip Island

We spent 4 nights behind the pub at Boolarra, took a drive through nearby national park, lots of winding rd and then across the ridge rd back to camp also had  a lovely country walk around the town for about an hour ending with a coffee at the cafe cum general store in town. Enjoyed our stay, had pizza and  drinks at the pub, chatted to the locals and fellow campers but decided we had to move on, the day we left, Monday the overnight temp didn't go below 20 degrees, very odd as most nights it was only 8, but they say Melbourne weather is like that and we are not too far away, anyway we drove about 50 ks down the road, again a winding rd! to Leongatha and we are in a caravan park here. When we arrived we had only just got set up and the warm weather changed and it went cold and wet wet, we spent the afternoon in the van with Brian popping out for some shopping and then getting Thelma out to make some bread.....

Today Wednesday the weather is nicer and we drove to Phillip Island stopping at Inverloch on the way, this is the first time we have seen the Ocean for a while, Bentley had a mad dash on the beach, even a quick swim.... With the wind blowing cold and being on the beach we felt we were back in Albany!!! 

We stopped for a coffee at San Remo before going over the causeway to Phillip Island, there we headed for Cowes, where we walked the shops and had lunch on the foreshore and then stopped at Rhyll on the way back, great island and we loved it, didn't get to the penguins though, but I feel in the summer it would be packed, so good to enjoy it out of season.

Looking at you, looking at me

Bentley enjoyed the walk, kept him away from the cows though

Lovely loaf that Brian baked
