Woke up this morning to a very crisp morning, as there was no firewood left, had to be content with wooly jackets, scarves and gloves.
Travelled onto Portland to have morning tea, and review my past heritage of the Macfarlane's, who arrived in this port 4 generations ago. Collected some firewood along the roadside and finally made it into Nelson where we are to stay a day or two for the boys to go fishing in the Glenelg River. Supposed to be a good Bream area, so we will see how good their skills are when tested tomorrow.
One of our travellers owns a house in Nelson, so we have propped at his place till Saturday.
The farmland we crossed today is some of the richest farming land in Australia ( according to Wikipedia) and I would certainly believe it as it was very green, well kept country with various animals grazing: sheep, dairy and beef cattle. Not very much cropping though which did surprise Paul and I. Well once again it is starting to cool down, but at least tonight we have a gas heater in the house to keep us warm!
Talk soon...
