Day 2 started well with a hearty breakfast at the Union Cafe in Robe! I had scrambled eggs & bacon and Connie had a posh breakfast of scrambled egg, ham & tomato with chilli sauce on toasted turkish bread! I was driving today and we were soon on the lookout for wombats! Unfortunately as they are nocturnal creatures none of them came out to play! We did see hundreds and thousands of sheep though! No wonder lamb is so cheap over here! Our first stop was Port Mcdonnell where we had our obligatory morning hot chocolate. Connie was impressed that the menu offered deep fried Mars bars (a Scottish delicacy!) After a brief stop at Mt Gambier, Koalas were next on the list to try and find and we were optimist
ic that the 2 hours during the day when they are actually awake would coincide with us passing their territory - but it was not to be! We then soon left South Australia behind to cross the border into Victoria. We carried on, ever hopeful that some kind of wildlife would appear by the side of the road (but preferably not actually running across the road - especially as I was driving!) but all we managed to see was a cute little baby rabbit sitting patiently on the grass verge. I hurtled to a stop a few metres down the road, in order to turn around and get a photo. He was still sitting there as I returned but another car's appearance on the other side of the road frightened him and he ran off. So sorry - no cute baby rabbit photo! But for all those of you who are disappointed at not having a cute baby animal photo to look at, here's a
lovely little baby duckling instead that we saw in Adelaide! Hope that helps! At about 4pm we stopped to stretch our legs at Port Fairy, a lovely little town with a picture postcard marina and delightful old style character cottages. Then onto Warrnambool to the All Star Motor Inn for t
he night. Warrnambool is famous for having whales come to calve here every year from June to September. Some of the signs said they can be seen from May to October so we went to the viewing area at Logan's Beach to see if we could spot any but seems like we just missed out on that event! But got a nice photo of the beach instead!
