Portland Bound

Got up early and packed everything down, emptied the porta potties and got on the road. First stop was Cape Nelson Lighthouse which was actually a Lightstation and built in the 1880's. There would have been a little community here, there are a few houses and a cute little school. The landscape is pretty rugged and amazing with the sea and waves against the rocks. Put Timboon into the navigation for our next stop but decided to stop along the way at Hopkins Falls which was quite nice. Timboon is such a cute town, we had lunch at the Provedores then an ice cream at the Ice Creamery, didn't get to the Whiskey Distillery, one for the next trip. There is a good rail trail here from Camperdown to Timboon which we will come back and do one day. Onwards to Apostle Whey Cheese where we did a tasting and rated what we liked then purchased some cheese for our afternoon snack. Drove a little further to have a look at the Californian Redwoods which was amazing. We lost Jillian for a bit until it wasn’t funny anymore and out she popped from behind the trees. The trunks are so wide you can hide behind them!!! Our camp for the night was Beauchamp Falls which was a nice setting, drop toilets and camp fire with bbq’s set up at each site. Lit a fire and cooked dinner and then off to bed exhausted after another day of adventuring.Read more
