Can he fix it? Yes he can!

Saturday 26th
All I can say is so glad I have a man that can. A trip to the DIY store to purchase duck tape, silicone and screwdriver, 2 hours later a finer bodge job I have yet to see. He is pretty certain that his repair is watertight but only a trip along a rain-soaked road will find that out.

Plenty of duck tape over the broken bits which we salvaged from the roadside.

Rubber matting supplied by the caravan sales place.

Inside the cupboard. Wheel arch rebuilt using the existing foam moulding.

Worry over, for now, we had time to head for the shops. Not our favourite pastime but a necessary evil nevertheless as I stupidly left my cardigan, joggers, and PJ's hanging on the back of a shower door several days ago. No chance of retrieving them as the caravan site was several 100 km back along the Ocean Road. But good news, there is a shop called Kmart, bit like our Asda but without the grocery section, and I was able to purchase a nightie and joggers for around $14. A cardigan was purchased for the princely sum of $1 from an Opportunity shop. (Charity shop). Then we came across a Dan Murphy's, a really, really cheap beer and wine shop. I bought a 5 Litre....yes 5 Litre box of Coolabah red wine for $12.99 about £8.50p!!!!!! Now that is my kind of shop! Another 48 bottles of Tooley's dark ale beer for Ian and we are set for the next couple of weeks. Finally had a chance for a bit of sightseeing. Hopkins Falls had been recommended but finding them was another matter. Somehow we missed the sign and ended up doing nearly 25 km in the wrong direction. After realising our mistake and very nearly giving up, by chance I saw a very small sign on the opposite side of the road directing tourists up a side road. An about-turn and 11 km later we found the falls.

So a shorter post than normal and the only wildlife sightings were of a Whistling Kite and I had the camera on the wrong settings. They all came out blurred!. We are staying another day in Warrnambool to go to Tower Hill wildlife reserve and Port Fairy. More on that tomorrow.
