Packing up a full tent set up when you haven’t had enough sleep is hard. Doing it when said tent is wet and the sky is threatening to dump more rain on you, well, that just sucks. Still, we were martyrs to our cause, and so we just bloody well got on with it. By some stroke of good fortune, the clouds decided to retain the vast majority of their precipitation, and so we continued our streak of neither having to erect nor disassemble the tent in the rain. Huzzah!

Bidding farewell to Port Campbell, a place that had offered us little more than cold, wet, and windy weather, we headed out for our somewhat cruisy day of stopping at a few lookouts and points of interest as we made our way to Warrnambool. Our first stop was a spontaneous nip into a scenic lookout over the very place we were leaving, and as I looked out the tiny town we’d done little more than sleep in, it seemed a shame it had been a less than stellar visit.
