Port Fairy made enough of an impression for us to stay another night and we enjoyed a quiet Sunday in town. Just before midday we walked from the caravan park to the Fishermans Wharf area overlooking Moyne River. It seems a great spot for fishing and sailing and there was plenty of activity by the water. From there we walked across the pedestrian causeway to Griffiths Island and strolled alongside the water.
Monday we started the slow crawl towards home. As we neared the South Australian border the terrain flattened and the land dried out considerably. It is not until you drive down the eastern seaboard that you realise just how dry SA is compared to the eastern states.
Mount Gambier was our stop for lunch and we enjoyed it overlooking the magnificent Blue Lake. The sparkling royal blue water is quite astonishing and makes for great photos. From there we headed north-west driving through Millicent before making it to Robe where we have decided to spend the last few days of our year-long (almost) journey.

An inspiring blog
G'day heath. I have just discovered your blog and spent most of this morning catching up on your travels. Sylvia and I have spent a lot of time travelling overseas but next year we plan to set out around Oz in our camper-trailer. Following your adventure is inspiring and informative. Thank you for recording your travels. John.
