Back to Victoria







After 4 fun weeks in Tasmania we arrived back to Victoria on a long weekend (Labour Day) so the search for cheap accommodation was difficult. We wanted to head to the Mornington Peninsula but every campground we contacted was fully booked. So, after one night in the Yarra Valley we went to Phillip Island for a few days. The weather was terrible but thankfully the devastating storms that tore through Melbourne did not make it here. On Phillip Island we explored the coast, saw some great surf and met a few of the penguins that live here. Our next stop was the national park at Wilson's Promotory, the southernmost point of the Australian mainland. There was still plenty of rain about but we managed to do some bushwalks, a bit of fishing and some wildlife spotting (wombats, possums, rosellas and Kangaroos) at this stunning location. On one of our walks along a track next to Tidal River, Hannah showed us how she uses pieces of bark as "levellers" for her dolly's stroller. When we stop somewhere for the night we usually use plastic ramps to level out Daisy and she has obviously picked up on this. Ashleigh's casting skills are improving as you can hopefully see on this video below.
