note: I've added pics to Day 69
Another longish day of driving (not nearly as much as yesterday though). Spent some time in the morning walking around Robe (and eating breakfast). During the drive -- only made 1 real stop / detour -- in the town of Beachport -- great scenic drive along the coast. Crossed from the state of South Australia into the state of Victoria -- also a time zone change (so I lost 30 minutes). Arrived into Port Fairy around 4pm -- staying in a house converted into a hotel -- only 4 rooms -- gorgeous views of the ocean. Went for a walk along the beach -- and then headed into town to find some food. I'm here all day tomorrow -- so will have plenty of time to explore (and happy not to have to spend much time in the car).
Weather: cloudy when looking north, partly sunny when looking south, rained for about 10 minutes, 55 - 67F
Miles Walked: 3.5
kms Driven: 347
