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.

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.
