Warrnambool

We left Warnnambool bright and early to make our way along the coast to a place called Robe. It was a long drive which took us inland for quite a while. We had to drive through a bush fire, which luckily was only small and we only saw smoke and no flames. The towns here are few and far between and if you blink, you miss them. Even the places on the coast are like a couple of streets and I've been unable to buy a postcard at most places. They know how to charge for food though! The prices are outrageous and I wish I had an Australian dollar for every time Chris has said 'do you know how much that was?? It would only have cost £** in the UK!'

Anyway, we made it to Robe, which was another two street town. We were really looking forward to staying here at a place called 'Ann's Place', a small retreat centre. When we went to check in, it turned out that the travel agent had made an error and booked us in for the night before and they were now fully booked! The owner of the hotel was really helpful and he managed to get us in to a motel for the night. The best I can say is that it was clean and had nice a nice shower. We went back to our original hotel in the morning and had a really good breakfast.
