Monday 27 February

 Up around. 6 again , seems to be our usual time now.  We are in no hurry today so we head off to the beach for yoga, stretching and skipping. Stunning views of the Southern Ocean, islands of the Recherche Archipelago oh yes and some tankers waiting to  enter the commercial harbour down at the bottom of the town. 

We refill the gas bottle on the way to Esperance windscreen and crash repairs. Kelly drops us into town whilst they replace the cracked windscreen. We have iced latte by the newly constructed tanker jetty, walk down it and then mooch around town. Fortunately the museum is closed on Mondays. I buy a nice t shirt with a print of Frenchman Peak ( no apostrophe apparently) on the back. 

After lunch we are reunited with the van and head off to complete a tour of the Great Ocean road. A wild and rugged route past innumerable white sandy beaches. Pink lake on the return is no longer pink because its salt levels have dropped. 

BBQ sausages planned for tonight.
