Wednesday 30th
Kiasa picked me up about 10am. We noticed three of the chickens had escaped from the pen. We managed to catch 2 of them and put them back in the yard.
We then went to her place we had coffee then Ivan took us down town to first see the lovely cathedral in Bendigo.
Then onto the town centre had a wander to The Metropol pub and had a lunchtime drink. After walked up to the Art Gallery and had a good look round. Ivan picked us up from the Gallery we returned back home where Ivan prepared a roast leg of lamb for dinner and Kiasa and I sat in the garden with a glass of vino.
Lovely dinner and watched some TV, Troy the magician was on quite unbelievable.
Staying over here tonight, as we are going back into Bendigo again tomorrow.
Thursday 1st October
Kiasa and I went to Kangaroo Flat shopping mall I brought a new top with my birthday money, thanks Mum and Dad. Lovely Mall, not too big. But everything there. Came back for coffee we had decided to go to The Great Stupa a Buddhist temple being built just outside Bendigo. Quite an engineering feat and a huge amount of finance to be raised and invested. Anyway very interesting we spun the prayer wheels and offered a few words of wisdom.!
On the way home asked Ivan to stop the car to take a photo of a flower called.?????? Which grow like weeds on the side of the road. So pretty and what a splash of colour. We had chicken, salad and bread for a yummy lunch.
Friday 2nd October
Left home about 8 am to travel down to Port Fairy. We stopped off at Skipton for coffee and cake stop,I brought a little bracelet there. Then we travelled on to see The Twelve Apostles in Port Cambell a spectacular rock formation.
Many many Chinese tourist there clicking away.
A further 1hour 30 mins and we were at our destination. Matilda cottage in Port Fairy.
A beautiful little seaside port. We checked into our cottage and went for a walk around. My room in our three bedroom cottage fab!
Much to our dismay all the restaurants were closed because of the football tomorrow, so they have made today a Public holiday. Even the fish and chip shop was closed. Melbourne aren't playing footie till tomorrow. So popped in super market and brought supplies. Lasagne and garlic bread.
Saturday 3rd
A lovely little farmers market round the corner so went for a look around. Brought some room scented wax jars,different! Then went just along the cost to watch the surfers then to a beautiful bay, not unlike Cornwall, cold sea, big waves but 28degrees sat for a while. Decided to go check out town shops have lunch ,then I went back to beach for a couple of hours, second selfie!
Came back had a quick shower then walked to the lighthouse before having the best fish and chips ever in the port.
Sunday 4th
Drove away from Port Fairy about 10am making a stop at a Sink Hole in Umpherson which had been turned into lovely gardens. Bees where buzzing around making honeycomb within the rock formation.
Then stopped at Mount Gambier to see the blue lake, which wasn't as blue as it will be in another month, cemicals in the rock here when the sun is at its hottest appear to turn water bright blue. Had lunch in town centre.
On to Robe now where we checked into a Best Western Motel for the night. Went up to the cliff point here to see the obelisk. Had to let Elli win one game of Canasta else she'll get like her hubby all grumpy!!
