Port Fairy to The Grampians

The journey continues, after another comfortable night we awoke bright eyed and bushy tailed ready for the next adventure. Actually lay in bed listening to the rain fall and wind blow like crazy and thought, Port Fairy Links in the wind, not fun.....anyway off we went to golf at about 10, wind still blowing but the sun was shining, most of the time. What a great track, only played the back 9 (much to Cindy's delight, greater is expected from her in as I play more over the next few months). Solid 41 but could have been better, only lost ball, the wind decided that it would push it down on to the beach instead of the fairway. Enjoyed it heaps and Cindy's first caddying of the trip was acceptable, sure she will improve with practice.

We left the sleepy fishing village of Port Fairy behind and headed north towards the Grampians, final destination Halls Gap.

The plan is to stay here for 2 nights. We proceeded to set up the big tarp for extra comfort. Like all well made plans this did not go that well, the wind blew from every direction, the brand new tarp ended in pieces and it started to rain, should have read the weather forecast....heavy rain for the next 2 days. Anyway, managed to get the small tarp up and hopefully that will keep us dry.

Note to self, check the forecast and rent a cabin if crap..........

  1. Mate a 41 sounds not to bad in those conditions. Nicky never caddies for me anymore after minor club throwng incident but oh well. Your blog is great by the way keep it up....
