PORTLAND

Left Dartmoor camp and arrived at Portland around 1pm, parked Lucky Pigs at the Visitor Info. centre\Maritime Museum unhooked the Suzuki and drove off to see the sights around. At Danger Point we saw a Ganett  bird rookery which was being guarded by a dog and way out at sea also saw the blows of several whales as they surfaced to breathe. Then on to Cape Nelson and Cape Bridgewater where there was a really nice beach (photo), blow holes etc., but we didn't have time to visit the seal colony there as it was a 2 hour return hike up a hill. After returning via Bridgewater Lakes to the motor-home and hitching the Suzuki back up it was getting late so we left Portland and found a quite spot by the beach about 13 kms East of Portland to stay for the night, but l bit windy tonight. A couple we met from Queensland in Mt.Gambier told us about this spot and they stayed here for 2 nights. Good Internet, Digital TV, and all mobile coverage.
