Floorboards being re-surfaced and need to evacuate so dusted off Dora, attached the green machine  to the back and set off for a mini-break. First stop – Port Fairy. 

A beautiful little town with all that a historic seaside town has to offer- old cottages, long walks along breakwaters beautiful beaches and a rail trail. And fabulous coffee!

We m are staying  in a small caravan park about 2km out of PF- unusual for us to go parking but it’s almost empty so we get to enjoy the creature comforts (power and flush toilets) without the hubbub of too many fellow campers.  Mind you the newborn (sounding) on the other side of the campground has torn at our heart strings and made us miss our little man.

Day 1 was spent on the bike exploring the nooks and crannies and back streets/waters of PF. Weather was perfect for riding and where it got too sandy to ride we tied up the bike and walked.

Second day we had the best intentions to ride the rail trail to Koroit and on to tower hill- but woke up to a totally flat tyre and decided to drive instead. We were SOOOO glad we had- the hills into and out of the National park were ENORMOUS. I think if we’d ridden we would have to energy left to do the walks. Did two off the main walks- the pinnacle walk (quite a huff & puff but worth it for the views) and the circuit through the wetlands on board walks among the reeds. Both were beautiful.

After a mandatory stop in the Koroit tea rooms to re-fuel(Persian love cake for me and passion fruit sponge for David) we headed to Warnambool and waked the beach while the bike shop changed our tyre.

Now back at camp packing up – heading to Grampians tomorrow.
