and BATS........ It was a great 2hr walk around and the weather stayed sunny. We then decided we would head to Warrnambool to stay a night or 2 

Having fun with the camera and you can see Winjana coming along behind our Dmax ☺

There was a bit of rain, but when in the town at van park all good ☺

Took 2 great shots of the full moon on Sunday night when we were staying in Warrnambool for 2nights 

And we picked up this cute little sewing machine to travel with us for simple fix ups $15 at a store reducing everything ☺

Now this place is known for the whale watching you can do between May and October and being July thought we would have a good chance....

Viewing area and we heard there was a Mother whale and baby hanging around

This is the glimpse I got........

Went to another area which had great surf splashing up.....

When the tide is out you can walk over to go up the stairs over there.

I do love the ocean.....

Heading up the breakwater to have a look for whales 

A very long breakwater and boy was it windy and icy......

That is it for the whale watching, although we have now stayed a 3rd night here but saw zilch of Whales.....failure lol 

Will post again once back home as Internet is pretty slow lol 

Hope you have again enjoyed our travels

take care and we will be home tomorrow xoxo
