It was a wildlife kinda day.
Today we explored Phillip Island… specifically, the Nobbies and Penguin Parade. Disclaimer: you can’t take pictures of the penguins as they parade… so you won’t see any of those. We drove out to the end of the island: on the way. We saw a Wallaby on the road, and had to stop for him to…

Sunday in Bodalla and Narooma
It was Sunday… so you know where we went to church! The lovely church in Bodalla was built by the founders of the town. The stain-glass had been ordered from the UK by Mrs Mort, and sat in storage until the church was built. The church was not built until after the original Morts died,…
