Our travels then took us to Nelson, where Brandt tried again for fish. The Australian fish just don't seem to want to take his bait. From there we returned to Warrnambool as we wanted to visit the shipwreck museum.
While at Robe we met people who lived at Koroit. They invited us to stay on their property.....with the bonus of a flight with Brian in his Auster mark 5d aeroplane which was built in 1944 and completely rebuilt in 1988. Brian has owned it for 11 years
He took us for a wonderful flight over the coastline
over the Bay of Islands
and up to the twelve apostles
It was fantastic to be viewing this spectacular scenery again. Seeing it from the air put another perspective on the beauty and wonder of it all.
We also flew to Port Fairy. Griffith Island looked large from above
It didn't seem that big when we walked around it.
Brian offered Brandt the opportunity to fly the plane
I have to be honest and say that was the only time during the hour and a half that there was any turbulence!
It was a lovely flight, but the time came when we had to put the plane to bed and move on.
