Early start to be in city at 0700 - Lib drove me in. Traffic was surprisingly busy but I got there on time. The company bus was already there with a few other members of the group. Left the city on time at 0730 and headed off to Portland.
There are 9 of us on the walk, 4 men and 5 women. They are from Melbourne, regional Victoria, Sydney, Gold Coast and Townsville.
Early start again tomorrow and a full day of walking.
Stopped for a short 10 minute break at the BP service station and Mecca's just outside Corio.
Started to rain as we entered Colac but apparently it's clearing. We had morning tea at 1015 in Camperdown at the 'Snout in the Trough Cafe'. Great coffee and a tasty date scone went down well.
Lunch on Port Fairy at Cobb's Bakery then a wander around the town in the sunshine. Left Port Fairy at about 1315.
Got to the start of today's walk at about 1430 and we started the walk through the Enchanted Forest to Cape Nelson lighthouse. A lovely walk through Moona thickets and along the top of the coastal cliff. The guide gave us a good flora and fauna lesson on the way and the pace was quite easy today.
It was a good wide path with a few well maintained steps and the ground was easy under foot.
Finished walk at about 1715 and headed off to the hotel (Macs Hotel) to check in and get ready for dinner. My room is huge and I'll be here for 3 nights, happy with that. Pre dinner snacks were at 1830 followed by dinner and and a couple of drinks. The food was great, the company a lot of laughs. All up a good day.
Early start again tomorrow and a full day of walking.
