Sat 23 Nov 2013 - Wilson's Promontory

We woke up late and the day was overcast. When we were organised, we set off for Wilson's Promontory, which is very close to Suellen's place and is the Southernmost tip of mainland Australia. We had been told it's the most beautiful place in Victoria, and we could soon see why people could say that, it really is very special. By now the sun had come out and the clouds were only over the hills.

 We called at several small beaches to see if there was some surf for Rodger, but there wasn't. The scenery was amazing, very hilly, with lovely beaches and little islands off the coast.

We did a walk over the dunes to Squeaky Beach, so called because the sand squeaks under your feet when you walk. We were so hot after this exertion that we were glad to have a swim, even though the water was very cold - it was certainly invigorating!

There were lots of lovely birds around the Prom.

We started off on our way back when Rodger remembered that Suellen had told us about a place called "The Big Drift", which is a whole area of inland sand dunes. It was another 4 Kms to walk to them and back and I decided that my knee couldn't take any more, so I stayed in the car while he went to have a look. On his return,  Rodger said it was absolutely amazing.

When Rodger returned, he said he'd had a call from Suellen to say she had a puncture, but by the time we got to the place, the RAC had been and changed the tyre and she was home. I made a quick dinner of apricot chicken, and afterwards we had tea, chocolate and chat and before we knew it, it was midnight.
