Warrnambool

We recently holidayed with a group of friends who are part of a walking group which had planned a number of walks and sightseeing excursions at Warrnambool, Victoria.  Warrnambool is a pleasant 4 hour drive from Melbourne, located in the South West region of Victoria. Although we only  participated in the shorter walks we enjoyed some memorable sightseeing and convivial company over evening meals. One of the key attractions are the whales which can be seen off the coast, from July to September. There are viewing platforms along Logans Beach

The picture below was taken at dusk not far from where we stayed.  Next is a picture of Hopkins Falls. 
We also visited a wonderful old property whose roots go back to the 1850’s, owned by a friend of one our friends. Set on 150 acres , located on the outskirts of nearby Terang , with some Arabian horses and Scottish Highland cattle. The property has links to the early days. Inside was magnificent with exquisite carved rosewood panelling and stain glass windows coupled with Chinese and antique furniture brought out with migration from HK to Australia.
