Yep another rest day but we figured that after 4 long days battling the heat, headwinds and March Flies that we were entitled to it! Our rest day was one of discovery that included a guided tour of Portlands Gannet colony. Some of the days extraordinary learnings were that -
- Marysia can actually sleep in if you drug her Chardonay!
- The Portland fault line runs through the middle of the main street if you listen to Henley after he discovered a 2x3 inch sinkhole in Portlands main street !
- Gannets are not only a graceful bird but can fly incredible distances with one tagged Portland Gannet found in Mauritius !
- The coastline from Portland to Port Fairy is in fact part of the rim of an one ancient volcano !!!
- It is not easy to catch a Magpie despite it having twine entangled legs (Marysia did try)
- Marysia has been on tour way too long after describing an indigenous eadible plant's berries as looking like "Kangaroo Balls" when our guide simply described them as looking like tomatoes !
One hell of a learning day !
