tales from an ordinary world

We left Port Fairy, and headed off to Apollo Bay (or thereabouts). Heaps of tourists thronging about the 12 apostles and the like, but the place we stayed at near Apollo Bay, Beacon Point, was fabulous - we were way up on the hillside, with a great view of the sea, Apollo Bay, and so on. Definitely a Gin & Tonic kind of view.

Crimson Rosellas came and ate from a birdfeeder just outside the lounge window, and later that evening a wallaby came by to get his share of the birdseed. Amusingly enough, young Crimson Rosellas have green plumage (the adults are, like, bright red, with the odd bit of blue). Kinda like that line from A fish called Wanda - "don't eat the green ones, they're not ripe yet." :P
