South Gippsland.

Saturday 13th: Exhausted but had a great day. Our hosts were wonderful. Visited Inverloch Environment Centre, followed by a drive along Bunurong Coast where we had a scavenger hunt at Eagles' Nest Beach, then on to the Koala Park Conservation Centre on Phillip Island. Here we got a guided tour and saw Koala bears in their natural habitat (we also got to see many other animals including the Kookaburra and Wallaby). Lunch in San Remo where we saw not one but two stingrays in the shallow waters near the jetty. After lunch it was the Bass Coastal Walking Tour. This was very similar to the walk from Bray to Greystones except you swop the rain for the sunshine and the green grass for yellow. Oh and you add a few snakes for good measure. We ended up in the Kilcunda Pub-now that must be Irish. Back to Inverlough for a barbie and home to bed. In my case home belongs to Peter Mc Laughan and his son Patrick. Peter was our guide for the day but there were about another ten ex-fellows there who had gone on exchanges in the past.
