A lazy sleep in today before heading out to one of our favourite places in Sydney for breakfast the City Extra Restaurant in Circular Quay. The view is amazing and the “Canadian Pancakes” is always my favourite. I like this place as you got the view and being at Circular Quay you see the hustle …

The Great Ocean Road and a big part of the purpose of the trip. After “feasting” at Maccas we were on the road to Port Fairy lighthouse which is situated on Griffiths island at Port Fairy. It’s about a 2.3km walk return and well worth checking out. Maybe not in winter though as it was …
