Day 6: Port Fairy Rest day

Day 6: Port Fairy Rest Day   Tuesday 15th February It was a beautiful morning as Mark set out on his first ride around Port Fairy and I ventured out for my walk. We’ve been lucky with the weather so far; no rain and lots of sunshine albeit with fair bit of wind thrown in.… More

Day 5: Port Fairy

Monday 14th: Port Fairy   There was some morning cloud which soon cleared paving the way for a nice ride for Mark and a nice walk for me. I found the access to coast path and took this out to southern Port Campbell headland which offers some decent views back up the coast towards the 12… More

Day 4: Port Campbell + 12 Apostles

Day 4: Sunday 13th February Sunday was a much warmer and sunnier day but, also, much windier. Mark did get out for a bike ride and I did get out for a walk but it was so windy I couldn’t walk out along the harbour breakwater. We packed up and got away from the house… More

Day 3: Apollo Bay full day

Day 3:  One full day in Apollo Bay Saturday 12th February It was a cool and rather windy start to the day and so Mark ditched his plan for a bike ride. Instead, we walked along the beach and up to the small harbour and fish co-op area and wound our way back through town… More

Day 2: Apollo Bay

Day 2 Apollo Bay Friday 10th February There was a bit of cloud on the horizon when we woke which made some very pretty sunrise colours. Mark headed off at about 630 for his first Great Ocean Road (GOR) bike ride and I headed out for a walk, along much of the same path that… More

Day 1: Torquay

Burleigh has… More

Hopo Day

Friday 21st May 2021   It was another lovely sunrise to meet us on our last full day in Burleigh heads. Mark went for a bike ride and I went for a walk and then we both met back at home and tried out the pool and spa downstairs; it’s a very pleasant sitting down… More

Springbrook Day

Thursday 20th May 2021   It was another lovely sunrise and yet another morning when MarK went out on a bike ride and I went for a walk. We joined up after that and tried a different cafe this morning, Quest, on James Street. This one was much better for coffee. The plan for the… More

Surfers Paradise Day

Wednesday 19th May 2021   It was another pretty sunrise that greeted me this morning, not so for Mark because he had already left for his bike ride. We caught up at a new coffee spot, Tarte, a cafe and bakery. We quite enjoyed the coffee here and is a lovely setting but is unfortunately… More
