Our second day was another day of traveling and exploring. After a quick breakfast we packed up the cars again and headed off to see some sinkholes and start our view of the coast.
On our recent trip to Mount Gambier we had tried to find a sinkhole called Hells hole, but it wasn't very well sign posted so we missed it. We decided to try again and this time we found it. There still weren't many signs and we weren't sure we were in the right place until we turned a corner and found this.
The water is really black and yucky looking. I don't know why anyone would want to jump in there and swim but according to the sign people do.
Then it was off to the Caroline sinkhole we went.
Love this crazy girl!
As much as I don't like pictures of myself I did try to make sure that I was in some pictures too!
Piccininnie ponds!
After Piccininnie ponds we were exploring places that we hadn't visited before. We headed towards Portland first and checked out the blowholes and the petrified forest.
Unfortunately the tide wasn't right so we didn't really see the blowholes but this was our first view of the coast.
We also discovered that it's not really a petrified forest it's how the weather affects the rocks. Either way it looks pretty cool.
Planking!
We then headed to Portland for a quick lunch before heading off again. We would have loved to stay and explore Portland more but we didn't have time. Maybe next time.
Anyway next we were off to Port Fairy. We walked around Griffiths Island. It was very, very very windy! We could see the waves crashing on the rocks but because the windy was going to other way we couldn't hear them crashing, it was really weird!
On the other side of the Island is this lighthouse. Haylie nearly got blown off the walkway a few times because the wind was so strong.
Buzz in all his weirdness!
After our walk we got back in the cars again to head to Warranbool where we would be stopping for the night. It wasn't a very long drive but the car was getting blown all over the road because of the wind. After the GPS taking us some back way we finally made it to the caravan park. Once we got sorted out we headed out to dinner at a nice little restaurant that we found. We made a quick stop at woolies before heading back to our cabins for the night.
We didn't really get any time to explore Warranbool at all. When we arrived it was nearly dark and we left fairly early in the morning as well. We would love to go back again and spend some time there.
