From Port MacDonnell we visited Mt. Gambier with its Blue Lake and other crater lakes in the cone of extinct volcanoes. Mt. Gambier is a substantial town in the center of good agricultural country. 
Saturday we saw the Princess Margaret Rose Cave, which is an underground cave with very striking limestone formations.
It is in the Glenelg National Park. The Glenelg River is very beautiful, quiet and serene.
On May 26 we drove to Narrawong, stopping at Port Fairy for lunch.
Port Fairy has been "discovered" and almost every shop is a Gourmet Cafe full of happy retired people. Its kind of sad that it is no longer the fishing village it was when we first stayed there. We couldn't get fresh fish for dinner, the men on the boats said all the fish goes to Melbourne.
We stopped at Narrawong a delightful camp site on the River and two minutes from the sea beach.
The beach was deserted except for a few townsfolk walking their dogs.
We drove into Portland expecting a graceful old town. Although it had some lovely buildings it seemed miserable and dominated by the smelter.
On Thursday 28 May we finally crossed the border into South Australia and drove to Port MacDonnell the Rock Lobster Capital of Australia. The season ended that weekend so we got two Lobsters out of the last batch heading to China.
Port MacDonnell is a pretty town with a lovely white sand beach facing straight on to Bass Strait.
The day was beautiful, foggy early and hazy by the time we were driving. The Great Ocean Road was beautiful in the haze.
We camped at Marengo Point in Apollo Bay and walked part of the Great Ocean Walk which goes from Apollo Bay to the 12 Apostles - over 100 kilometers. 
Some sandy beaches but most the country is similar to Cornwall - rugged headlands - crags and mists.
The next day we drove to Warrnambool. On the way we stopped at the Lighthouse at Cape Otway. It was the first sight of land most of our ancestors had since their Port of Embarkation. They would have been 100 or more days at sea. The Telegraph station was originally for the link to Tasmania, but when that failed it was mostly used for giving information on ships which passed the Cape Otway Light. 
We took a helicopter over the Twelve Apostles which was wonderful. What a great view from the air. 
Then on to Warrnambool where we rode on the Promenade a bike/walking track on the sea shore. The Promenade is a great ride. They are reforesting the coast which means that views are limited but when you see them they are great.
some great restaurants and cafes
