Well
waking up this morning in different surrounds was strange but we were warm and
toasty and could hear the rain. Boys were up already and watching TV cartoons.
We hand showers, breakfast and watched TV and then packed up and left for a
refuel of diesel and thought we’d check out the Blue Lake. We got out the car
up at the lookout and almost got blown away with the wind and there was that
fine misty rain. We all looked very quickly at Blue Lake and hoped back in the
car. That was just insane wind, so strong and freezing too. I had checked
temperature overnight in Mt.Gambier and it was 2.9 deg, very cold indeed.

Today
we were headed to Mark’s brother’s place to stay for our final leg of the
journey and to see our beautiful Great niece that was born on the 9th
August while we were in Mataranka. Her beautiful name is Stella Rose, and Lily
is over the moon to see her. Mark and I can’t believe that we are Great auntie
and Great Uncle, and that makes us feel OLD!!
We
decided that as it was only going to take 3 hours or so to get there we’d stop
off in Port Fairy and have lunch. We know this town well as we have camped here
twice and love it. We went over to the campground we stayed in at Christmas and
we could drive in and look around. This campground is only open in the summer
months, so no one was there. I have done a little video for friends of ours
that are staying here this Christmas coming so they can see their sites.
The
bakery was the spot to have some lunch and we even sat in front of the open
fireplace at the bakery. We walked the shops and looked in our favorite ones
and the boys bought a book each to keep up the reading.
It
was time to move and go pop in on our niece, Amy and her baby Stella. I had
done bits of shopping for the newborn around different parts of Australia, so
she received a few items throughout our journey.

Meeting
Stella, she was as cute as a button, of course and we all couldn’t wait for a
hold of her. Lily was over excited that it was actually real and you could hold
her. We loved our cuddles and we love her to bits.

We
left Amy and Murdoch’s house bound for Kevin and Sandy’s which is another 15
mins in Panmure. They live out in the country, so we were looking forward to
seeing their new place. We were welcomed by Kevin and Sandy and their huge
house and had a lovely dinner together that night, talking and reminiscing our
holiday with them. We were here for our final 2 days of our trip.

So beautiful and peaceful |
We set up camper and were
hoping to get it in the garage but it didn’t quite fit in, the boys slept out
in the camper on the queen bed. Mark and Miss Lily as well as I had a room
inside. We were taken on a tour of Kevin and Sandy’s place and out the back were
a Koala in a tree. Their a few koalas are around and were told there was one
with a baby, but we didn’t get to see it. This was another animal that we hadn’t
seen on our trip, so it was exciting to see. Kevin and Sandy have 3 cats and 2
dogs and Lily was scared of all of them. The peacefulness and darkness was just
bliss as we slept that night
