FaceTimed Leanne at 9am (10pm on the 29th UK time) who turned her iPhone on Poppie to prove she is alive! Left for Port Fairy, the furthest planned destination on the Great Ocean Rd. Stopped at the London Bridge lookout (more sea rocks!) and despite regular signs advising kangaroos would be crossing, saw only one! Port Fairy was idyllic comprising a low level quiet high street and a river inlet with fishing boats. You could imagine Jessica Fletcher living there.....we agreed that this would be our retirement destination, we loved it...even though there would likely be a high murder rate! We stayed a bit too long before taking the long drive back through Lorne to Torquay (surfers paradise and home to Quick Silver and Ripcurl) and then back to Lara where we stayed with Carole & Den. Had a lovely meal out in Geelong and discovered the meaning of Pokies which are advertised everywhere (Pokies are slot machines)....strange what the Aussies have done to the language.
