Australia Day 16 (Sat 13 Dec: Healesville to Port Campbell)

Again, weather was rainy, rainy and rainy ;(

Breakfast was Beechworth Bakery (at Healesville), which apparently is the best bakery in Australia. I don't know how to rate as we only tried the savory scorn and coffee. But one thing we were sure was the items were not cheap haha! Like the scorn we had, it cost AUD2.45 each.



Call me "mountain tortoise" but I was impressed that such gadget was used to inform customers that their orders were ready for collection. Any of such in Singapore?

Cherry factory we passed by at don't know where hahaha!!

Then we started our journey again to Port Campbell, a long drive passing through the suburb of Melbourne. Using the GPS, it directed us through the toll way!! We only realised it when we were on the freeway! Jialart! Kena fine liao! Haha!
The moment we reached Port Campbell, we headed to its Information Centre and asked about the paying for the toll. The staff wasn't sure but said we could pay at any post office and so off we went to the nearby post office. Fortunately, we were told that we would be fine so as long as pay within 3 days of using the toll. *Phew*! (We bought the pass on the internet at AUD11.90. Other means include phone or at any post office)


Accommodation - Port Bayou B&B AUD110 including breakfast. Hmm.. nice spacious cosy room which was part of the owner's house except that the entrance to this B&B was independent of the main house. The owners were not around when we got there but saw a notice to call and we did. They had left the key on the door and hence we could access. In terms of location, it is very near to the town centre - just few minutes walk. Rating: 7/10.

Pre-prepared breakfast. The bread was soft & good!

Though it was raining, we had no choice but to still head out to Port Campbell and visit the places of interest (in case weather condition did not improve the next day). Everything was done in a rush because it was COLD! Raining and windy! So, it was just snap & go! We'd like to return some day and do a proper visit, with walks ;)
