The indulgent traveller

Onto South Australia

I was sad to leave Port Campbell. However, it was not for the live music playing in the bar on Saturday night.

Even his biggest fans struggled to make sense of it!

Because there was no bus this day I had an early start hitching. Got picked up by an old dairy farmer on the way to a sale. He was keen to show me the sights and stopped for me to take photos, really kind.

The Bay of Islands in the sun rise.

I reach Warrnambool in time to catch the bus to Mt Gambia, crossing into South Australia and gaining half an hour. Pleased with my progress that day I decided to stay in the second biggest city in South Australia, population the size of Barnstaple.

Famous for it amazing blue lake in a volcanic crater. It goes back to a grey colour in March.

Town was very very quite with little to see so started to take pictures of houses. Amazing what you can with corrugated iron roofs.

And some tight topiary

Just looking over the rose garden (yes it was that quiet)

When a distant Sunday afternoon noise drew me in…..

I could even place a bet in the next room, no wonder there is no one around.

And finally the walk back to my hotel brought me back to my life before coming out to Oz.

I wonder what the waiting list is like.

    Is that an ironic, an old school or a new fad mullet on the musician?

    You appear to have succeeded in getting off the tourist trail!
