The boys slept beautifully last night... it may take a few days for Gemma to get used to being in the van again though! We packed up and fuelled up before spending about half an hour wandering the main street of Camperdown. The old clock tower chimed 10am when we arrived, much to the kids delight.
We continued west-ward and had lunch in Warnambool, down at the adventure park at Lake Pertobe. The motor boats were not operating because of too much weed build up in the lake, much to Zac and Ethan's disgust. All three of them had fun in the playground though.
Our next stop was Portland where we checked into the Claremont Holiday Village - right in the centre of town, a small but nice caravan park. We were the only van in - a couple of tents and some people in cabins meaning the kids have plenty of room to run free. We set up and the kids rode their bikes before we went for a walk down to the waterfront. A large cargo ship was in port and we sat and admired it from a mosaic and concrete 'couch' which afforded great views! On the way 'home' we popped into the supermarket.
After dinner we took the very scenic 13km drive to Cape Nelson. We saw over 20 huge wind turbines on the way, stopped at a lookout which stretched back along rugged cliffs towards Portland. The highlight was the Cape Nelson Lighthouse which was a great sight in the evening sunlight. We had a good walk around it and up to the cliff edges... remaining safely behind railings of course!
We look forward to exploring more of Portland tomorrow.
