Childer's Cove

Today it was very windy, a little cloudy and some sunshine. Mark had told me about this cove around 25k east of Warrnambool and it was magnificent. There were structures like at the Twelve Apostles but they were a little smaller-more disciples that apostles! The cove was like something from a story book and I had the place to myself all afternoon. I only met five people in the space of about four hours but none of them stayed. I felt like Robinson Crusoe and regretted not knowing about this little gem of a place up to now. The wind was howling overhead but underneath all was calm. I put on what i thought was sunscreen with insect repellent but it turned out to be insect repellent with sunscreen! I got a little burned but not too bad. If this bad weather keeps up I will definitely go back there before I leave. I want some sun on my bones.
On the way I stopped at Murnanes-a cove named after an Irish family who came to the area in 1839 aboard the 'Earl Gray'. They were from Limerick and Tipperary, like many in the Koroit area.
