Grant and Rae's Oz Trip Feb/Mar 2014

---

Hi. Sorry about the multiple mails last night - finger trouble obviously!

Headed for Mt. Gambier this morning where we caught Sunday mass in St. Paul's, a very upbeat church with an amazingly mixed ethnic community - some lovely singing by the choir (recorded!). We then visited the Blue Lake there - you will recognise the pic.

Saw some emus by the road today..........had almost reached Port Fairy (used to be called Belfast) when the petrol warning alarm sounded - we have done just over 400 miles since lealving Adelaide.

Port Fairy is a lovely seaside town. Weather good, about 22 degrees and sunny and we went for a walk out to and around Griffiths Island which has a shearwater colony on it - didn't see many though. And there was a proper lighthouse here. The ocean is a wonderful colour.

Have included a pic of some roses outside of our door - it really is summer.

Ate at Ramella's, a Turkish/Australian restaurant!?! Very good. Rae had barramundi for the first time and really enjoyed it.

Tomorrow we are off to Apollo Bay.
