Overseas tour Day 97 – Anglesea & Winchelsea

Sunday was a sun day.

After a leisurely breakfast in Anglesea we joined the throng on the main beach and enjoyed a day of cloudless skies.

The Anglesea revellers were out in full and there was competition for space on the sands due to the Coolcabana craze.

Chilling with the Coolcabanas

After lunch we had a walk along the beach and marvelled at the cabbage white butterfly invasion that spread across the flowered bushes and plants along the Salt Gully estuary.

Today has been one of the hottest since we left Sydney and topped out at 35c. When it gets that hot there really is only one option….Addis Pale Ale by Bells Beach Brewing. Truly a fantastic brew when served chilled!

After enjoying a day at the beach we travelled in land to a free camping site in a small place called Winchelsea. In truth there was little to see or do there, other than enjoy a free nights stay and embrace the sound of thousands of white parrots in the nearby trees squawking until their eventual ‘bed’ around 10ish.

White parrots here there everywhere
Winchelsea sits about 25 miles inland from Anglesea

Tomorrow we return to the Great Ocean Road with the next stop being Lorne.
