Final Full day of our Journey but read on there's more interesting fact to read



After such a beautiful sleep and waking up a bit later than normal we started the day at around 11am and headed into Warrnambool to look around. The day wasn’t bad in the early morning but it was cold and then it got colder. We had some hot chips and dim sims for lunch and sat down the beach area and watched boats. After lunch went to Lake Petrode to a parkland area and park for the kids. It was a huge area and the park was for all age groups even Mark and I. We were like big kids on the Flying fox. There were two flying foxes for small children and then one for 12 years and up, so Dylan, Mark, and I all had a ball gliding down. Lily had a go on the small Flying fox, but ended in tears, as it was too fast.Oliver was only enjoying the smaller one due to his age.

Just having fun
We stayed at the park for ages and then it got so cold we left. We went and checked out Hopkins Falls, as last time we were here, it was the floods and it was overflowing. Warrnambbol has a whale nursery and we drove to there but we knew there were no whales. 

We were all getting together tonight for a BBQ, and as Lily would say,” Baby Stella is coming over, isn’t she”. Yes Amy, Murdoch and Stella were coming for dinner and it was lovely to be all together and Stella, slept for 3 hours before heading home at 10.30pm. Just hope she slept for Amy when she got home. Boys went out to the camper to bed and Lily rubbed her eyes and went to bed too. Dylan was up again at 11.30pm and can’t sleep out in the camper it was raining, so he sleeps inside and Mark traded places with him. I secretly think Mark wanted his last night in the camper trailer.

Oh well, our final journey is tomorrow as we head off from Panmure bound for Frankston town. I’m feeling excited about seeing family but sad that such an amazing trip has come to an end. We will never ever forget such a journey and we have many photos, videos and have course this blog to look back on. The kids have so many memories and have also written their own diary of the trip in their own words.

If anyone is thinking of doing something similar, we highly recommend it to such our beautiful country Australia.

Australia is so big and we still didn’t see everything, we really needed 6months or even a year to do more adventures.
We know the kids have enjoyed the time and have learnt a lot too.

So thank you to everyone who has come on this journey with us, reading and keeping up with the blog. Hope it wasn’t too long, but I hope to compile it as a book we can read back on.

There will be another journey but not sure when
