Not a bad day of touring.

I will be back a bit later... I have been called out for a computer breakdown.

Back in Port Campbell... I decided to complete the Great Ocean Road as it's been sunny since Torquay. My 2014 trip was besotted by rain so rather than regret it tomorrow I finished it today.

Possible thunderstorm later tonight, but a hot day tomorrow. Rest well.

Looks like that storm is well north of you. Now passing thru Ballarat at 2am, and heading for Melbourne.
Not a lot of rain, just patchy stuff Geelong, Lorne and the city. Not registered anywhere except 10 mm near Lake Bolac.

I wouldn't have know. I had the best sleep last night and sleep through weather anyway.

Got my second puncture of the trip (second on the kwaka too) in Curdievale this morning so am now back in Nullawarre. The plug's not holding so I am stuck here waiting for someone from Warrnambool to come and get us.

bugga!

At least it happened when I was going around the block and not on the move.

If it wasn't for the fact that my friend and myself are just about to leave for Millicent, I would have come your way myself.

Just returned home after funeral, I see you have repaired/replaced tyre and almost completed another daily lap?

Back home (you know what I mean). A very truncated lap. The original plan was Terang → Camperdown → Cressy → Inverleigh → Winchelsea → Colac → Chapple Vale → Simpson → Princeton → Port Campbell. I lost more than four hours getting to Terang so from there is was Terang → Colac → Simpson. Such is life.

I have a new tyre so the the worry about the plug holding has gone. I'll work on a report shortly.
