After leaving the majestic Grampians we made our way back to the coast, our first port of call being Mount Gambier.

Hi there intrepid travellers Where is the third not so grey nomad in your opening photo? Or was he taking the photo (Woody?) You three remind us of a song called "Me and You and a dog named Boo" except of course it would have to be "Woo". Thought Gum Tree Lodge was ideal for your stay with Les and Len - family fueds over the ironing board cover couldn't be heard from there! Bet you felt like the Princess and the Pea story sleeping in a real bed after all those weeks, it must have felt like sleeping on a cloud. We were well impressed with Len's effort to scrub up for a trip to see the penguins. He must be a real wildlife fanatic! Larry the Lobster is certainly the biggest Big Thing yet, makes the Kaikoura Crayfish look like a shrimp. Wondered if kangaroos get any bigger than the 7ft red? Lots of Love Roy and Linda. xxx
