Last day at port Fairy and arrive in Mount Gambier

A photo of the original caves house built by James Umpherston, sadly demolished in the early 1900s.
Look at the back drop, just amazing, can't really show it off.

Keith sitting down among the peaceful sunken gardens. We even came upon Possums which we were able to feed raw apple out of our hands.


Mount Gambier, just look at this !!! We visited these magical sunken gardens originally beautified in 1886 by James Umpherston and today is one of Mount Gambiers most popular tourist attractions.



Another view of the Port Fairy caravan park.




Port Fairy a beautiful caravan park, dog's are welcomed with open arms, heaps of space.





Our last morning at Port Fairy, Keith on his new fold up bike.

The county side inland from Apollo Bay, lovely farms, lot's of dairy farming.
Otway Fly Tree Top Walk, this was amazing the view from the 25 metre tree top walk was well worth the scary walk.

Looking back down at Apollo Bay.


Once settled in at the caravan park here at Apollo Bay, we have gone for a drive up in the hills. The paddocks are awash wth canola oil flowers, very pretty.



We left Lilydale on the 20th, headed for Apolo Bay. Here we are on our last walk along Pine Road
