I woke up early having had a reasonable sleep, and decided to go for a walk. I was up and out before 7am and enjoyed my walk through the town of Victor Harbor, across the bridge to Granite Island. I circumnavigated the island, whilst taking in the scenery which glowed with the early morning sunlight. I slipped on the way back and smacked a big toe against the tramlines, which is used to carry passengers by horse drawn tram to the island. I did well not to cry, bu...

The Wild Mulberry Cafe provided us with an amazing start to the day. I had eggs florentine with smoked salmon and a blush juice (orange, grapefruit and strawberries) served in a glass milk bottle with a straw. Donks took a shine to Scotty the juice man who was trying to convince her that a Bloody Mary would be the best thing for brekkie! We headed north on our road trip and made our first detour to Cape Jaffa stopping at the Cafe Jaffa winery cellar door for Donk...

More sunshine and blue skies, I'll never bore of it! I made us some scrambled eggs on English muffins before we headed off on our next road trip north to Robe. Our first stop was at the Crags, which also provided us with a distant view of Lady Julia Percy Island. I was impressed with the contrast of the strong waves and the stillness of the waters protected by the rocks. Our second stop at Cape Nelson light station was short lived. Primarily due to a large nu...

Australia Day rocks! Having woken up after a good sleep I faced clear blue skies and sunshine on the other side of my hotel curtains. Feeling refreshed I headed out to the National Museum Australia. A 45minute walk later through Canberra's virtually deserted Sunday morning streets found me outside the museum. The building itself was architecturally interesting, although I didn't quite get it! I wanted to see the 'Old Masters' exhibition of aborigi...

Another overcast day! This is not quite what I had expected in Aus, but rain is good! After brekkie etc (including a bit of bird spotting from the balcony) Nao, Ayesha and I drove into Ulladulla and did the Aboriginal walk across the headland north of the centre. This bush walk had various stops with carved wood plaques describing aboriginal life. Ayesha was a fan of the fishes! We also got to take in some good views of a very (and apparently, unusually) calm sea...
