We are now in Portland for our last stop in Victoria before leaving for South Australia tomorrow morning. We awoke this morning to go and see the sunrise over the twelve apostles and although winter does have a few disadvantages to travelling around, it does mean that sunrise isn't until about quarter past seven down here!

We made our way through several little towns, passed the farming lands and hillsides as the sun came up and everything was going well until a couple of hours into the drive when we came to a bridge.
