When we first arrived at Portland we headed to the Visitor's Centre at the wharf as the Whale Flag was up. There had been a sighting of a Southern Right Whale mum and calf in the harbour. A crowd had descended on the wharf and we stayed for 40 mins but no luck with a sighting. So we set out to
Cape Nelson Lookout 13km out of Portland. The sun was desparately trying to peek through on a very bleak day. Not raining - yet, but very windy.
The significance of the photo shows just how much we were praying for better weather!

A very rugged part of the Limestone coast which stretches through SA & Vic. Rainy weather and storms have been following us for the last week.

Cape Nelson near Portland - Clare is still looking for all those whales. Everyone says there out there! One thing about Portland we will never forget is the weather. We had 2 days of 120km wind and rain - not much fun when you're in a caravan. The force of the wind actually snapped our TV aerial in half and a few trees were worse for wear in the van park as were we. We didn't get much sleep those 2 nights but luckily we didn't have to travel on the road.
