Out of Port Campbell by 10am and back on the Great Ocean Road. Five vistas all within just a few kilometres. First stop The Arch, steep walkway down to the viewing platform, magnificent 8 metre high sandstone archway jutting out from the cliffs. Jumped in surprise walking back to the car when a mouse ran out of the undergrowth in front of me!

Next stop London Bridge - falling down! The archway was once connected to the land but now stands alone since the connecting part got washed away. Nice level walkways to get to it. Good for my feet and Eddie's knees!

Then on to The Grotto. Footpaths, slopes and then 74 steps down - worth every one of them as the way the sea has carved out the rock is truly awesome.

Just after this we came to a sign saying we were leaving the wonderfully named region of Corangamite Shire, then another announced we were entering Moyne Shire as we came to the town of Peterborough, population around 200, site of several shipwrecks in the latter half of the 1800s. A board gives details of three but there were many more.

The captain of one had been down below 'playing cards' with an 18 year old female passenger when the ship went aground ... He survived but his career didn't!

Stopped for a coffee in the general store of Peterborough which trebles as a post office, takeaway and petrol station. Clearly the hub of this busy ( ha ha) township. Flicking through a guide book while waiting for our coffee I read that Peterborough is "the quintessential, picturesque seaside village". Mmmmm. It does have a beautiful swimming beach and a golf course but not much else going for it.

But further along the road is the Bay of Martyrs and on again is the Bay of Islands. Both worth stopping at to wonder at yet more sandstone stacks in the sea.

All along this stretch the land is surprisingly flat with dense low growing shrubs. You know, of course, that there are the sheer cliffs to the left.

Moving on, the land goes over to farming. Signs say you need to watch out for kangaroos but we just saw cattle. Huge old conifers provide wind breaks along the way. And then we came to Warnambool. Well, if we had expected other towns we've visited to be bigger we weren't prepared for the size of Warnambool which seemed to go on forever. Stopped and took a pic of the Hopkins river that the town is situated next to and then drove on, tooooo big!

Another 20k and we arrived in Port Fairy where we are staying at Oscars Boutique Hotel for the night. Hotel is lovely, right on the harbour and set in what was once a private residence. Really lovely but the town is unusual to say the least. Seems to be stuck in a time zone 50 years or more ago but doing its best in parts to catch up with the modern world. Lots of buildings that are 100-150 years old, some interesting old houses with Victorian style canopies, single high street. All very sleepy.

On to Robe tomorrow, over the border from Victoria into South Australia and in another time zone!

Can't upload pictures again tonight - think it is that the wifi signal is too weak. Boo.
