Kingston to Port Fairy

I'm back in the one true time Zone! GMT +11! In the last 10 days I've had 5 different times. WA time, WA central time (which is 45 minutes ahead of WA time) SA time (another 45 ahead), SA daylights savings (an hour) and eastern daylight savings (half an hour). I'm a bit jetlagged.

Last night was a bit wild weather wise. A few almost storms went through. Lots of wind and rain but no thunder or lightning. The tent held up really well. This morning I waited for it to warm up then checked the weather and realised it wasn't going to happen. 12 degrees was as good as it was going to get so I put on all my warm clothes and left. It rained a little bit today but it was OK to ride in.

I stopped off in Mt Gambier at Umpherston Sinkhole. It is a sinkhole that was once privately owned and the owner grew some lovely English gardens in it. There also used to be a manor house but it was bought by the neighbouring sawmill and torn down so they could expand. I think they really tore it down because it was a really impressive house and it was made from stone, not wood.

I made it to Port Fairy. It is a lovely little town at the entrance to the Moyne River. I think it is also the start of the Great Ocean Road. Or close enough to it. The lady at reception told me the Great Ocean Road is jammed with foreigners who can't drive and it's amazing there aren't more fatalities. So that's something to look forward to. She also told me she would never ever stay in a caravan park. She was strange.

The only other thing to report is that my replacement super expensive noise cancelling headphones have also broken. They are Bose Qc20 if anyone wants to avoid buying a pair. I'm going to start billing them for my time spent emailing them for replacements.
