We're now in Apollo Bay having traveled along the Great Ocean Road from Port Fairy. Still cool with daytime highs in the mid teens. Some rain yesterday and again today. Scenery is spectacular, and we still see lots of birds.
We spent a bit of time on Griffith Island which is attached by causeway to Port Fairy. It hosts a protected breeding area for Shearwater as well as other birds and black wallabies

This black wallaby jumped onto the path in front of me, paused a bit, then went on its way - note the baby in the pouch.

Back on the road... penguins at Warrnambool...

Penguins - only just over a foot tall
They're a bit off shore on a protected island |
 |
| The birds look like Christmas ornaments |
Spectacular scenery, too bad it wasn't in sunlight...
 |
| campsite at Port Campbell |
 |
| training horses in water at Warrnambool |
...more scenery...
...and a few birds...
 |
| spoonbills |
...and after about 1500 metres of climbs for the day, it was a descent into Apollo Bay for the rest day...
