    Feb 6–10, 2024 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    We have crossed over into Victoria...our 5th state.

    Currently in Portland. Free camping at the RV site. Very nice.

    Had a drive along the coastline this afternoon. I was very excited to find a Gannet colony. The only one on mainland Australia. Plus, it breeding season, so they are here. Even more exciting ... we are doing a free tour of the colony with the rangers. So get to go inside the gated area and get up close.

    There is a stunning Lighthouse out on Cape Nelson. With all the charming workers cottages. These can be rented out. There is even a nice coffee shop.

    It is a very nice town with lots of lovely old buildings.
