Port Fairy, Robe, Goolwa

Beach walk in the mist to start the day in Port Fairy...cutest town yet.

North of the Great Ocean Road, just off the beaten track. Couple of driving days from Port Fairy....Robe....Goolwa (you know..those famous Australian towns 😉).

Open country, ranch lands, managed forest plantations, grazing sheep and cattle, dry scrub land,
ocean views. Mt. Gambier stop for a flat white (latte). The main hotel there boasts 'best overall hotel in 2004'. Hmmm...what happened the last 15 years??

Check out Blue Lake...very BLUE. The lake turns vibrant cobalt blue in summer, returning to a colder steel gray colour in fall/winter...a chemical reaction to hotter temps.

Not a lot in between Robe and Goolwa. So first we pick our coffee shop in Robe from 5 of them along the one-block main road. They're serious about their coffee ☕ down here.

Not much civilization today...3 wild emus, pelicans, Coorange motel and lounge in the middle of nowhere as far as we could see.

Made it to our first (of yet to be many) winery stops 🍷. And there's more to this cellar door than just wine!Read more
