Good evening everyone,

Today was a really rainy day! When we woke up we decided to stay in a little longer just because of all the rain. When we finally did get up we took a shower and had some great homemade steak sandwiches before heading off into Warrnambool.

Because the weather was awful we only did some quick stops near the places of interest, like the houses John used to live in with his family. We also drove by the school John used to go to and a lot of Johns old haunts.

Afterwards we went to Tower Hill and fortunately it stopped raining for a little while when we got there. We walked around the site and climbed up to the crater. We spotted some wild wallabies and an Emu. The Emu was quite shy so when we got close it started moving away. The only wallaby we got close to hopped off, but not before I took some pictures.

It started raining again so we got back to the campervan. Here we heard on the radio that the weather was so bad that it was advised not to head into the mountains, so Halls Gap was out of the question, sadly. We had to change our plans and decided to skip ahead, so we phoned Henny to see if we could come early.

It was no problem so we made the long drive to Nangwarry. A warm welcome awaited us as we drove into the street where Henny lived. After trying to squeeze the campervan into the front yard we got inside and quickly started chatting about nothing and everything.

She had prepared an incredible dinner for us. Pea soup as a starter, mashed potatoes with beans and lamb as the main course, and apple pie as dessert. It was the best meal we had since we left the Netherlands and we were quite happy with having a decent meal instead of the fast food we were having all the time.

We'll be going to bed soon. Tomorrow we'll go to Mt. Gambier to see Anne and Sandra.
