Port Fairy Vic and Southend S.A

Arrived into the township of Port Fairy and once again we had a wet welcome. Not heavy rain but enough to  pull out the winter woolies .We booked in for 2 nights and rode our bikes around in the light rain checking out the local area.           What a great little historic seaside village, that borders on two sides by the sea. The little township has retained its old world character. The rain hung around for the 2 days and the sun poked its head out the day we were leaving.         

Next port of call was Southend about 60kl's towards the coast from Mt Gambier. We can see the ocean from our vans. Just wonderful. Southend is a little fishing village thats seems to be a little hide away of beauty. The best part is the sunshine . Its quite a blessing after the rain and cold.   Norm told us about this secret place and we pulled up with a smile on our faces all excited .The boys fished off the beach last night and we all fished of the jetty this morning . So you see guys ,there is still lots of hunting going on, but still no gathering. We are very very hungry.  Can't count the undersize flathead that Mick had to throw back...              We have crossed the border to South Aust but when we leave here tomorrow Mick and I will do some back tracking and cross back to Victoria to go and visit Chris and Justin. We are only a few hours away and looking forward to our visit , as its been some years since we have seen each other.   Brad and Trish will head into Adelaide and we will find each other  down the road at some stage.

Love  The Baggys
