Overcast and cool
Cycle: 37.5km
We set off after breakfast to Queenscliff along the Bellarine Rail Trail. It
was was so peaceful along the rail trail that we did not rush. After arriving
in Queenscliff, our first job was to find a pharmacy for Y&G. We then made
our way to the port where the ferry leaves from. Not only did we get some
valuable information about costs, we also had mornos at RORO (roll on, roll
off) cafe. It was not cheap but we all left looking like big fat ticks!! Fort
Queenscliff was our next destination, however, it was a paid 90 minute tour and
none of us wanted to spend 90 minutes touring an old Defence facility, least of
course us. The Australian Defence Command and Staff Course used to be held here
and we can well understand why officers were so keen to spend 11 months of the
year here. The Air Force Cadets and Defence Archives now occupy the site, hence
the security and guided only tours.
We made our way to Point Lonsdale where there was ABL. Whilst none of us were
particularly interested, seeing as though we had come this far we decided to
check it out. There was also a jetty/pier which we traversed just because we
could. Lunch was had in Pt Lonsdale at a very yuppy cafe where the wraps were
not that flash. They fuelled us home though.
Greg left us on the way home to find some socks. After getting home, Wendy
tried to contact work colleagues to no avail and then had a nap. Upon Greg's
return, he read whilst Wendy did some stuff on the computer. Pre-dinner drinks
were had at Kev&Jo’s, followed by a dinner of smashed orange veg, steamed
greens, salmon and pork steak. A short wander around the park followed was by
bed not long after.
