We left Phillip Island yesterday morning after being awoken by torrential rains, this time the words character building really did spring to mind as we took down our soaking wet tent under such conditions. Following this we decided to move onto our next spot, it transpired that somewhere between me and mr google there was a significant error made in terms of the distance from Phillip Island and Mallacoota, as it transpired it was a tad longer than the initial two...
