We were so happy to have had our first of two family member visits. Andy's niece Sarah and her husband Kevin were in the country for Kevin's work and they added a few extra days to visit us in Warrnambool. Andy's daughter Kate arrived at the same time, so we all traveled together from Melbourne to Warrnambool.

On the first day we did a walk around the sites and sounds of our little town. We hiked from the breakwater to Shelly Beach. We happened upon the penguin-guarding Maremma dogs who were going home after their last shift of the season.

The next day we headed out to the
Tower Hill Reserve and a walk around
Griffith's Island in Port Fairy. This was our primary animal spotting day.

On the third day it was glorious weather as we drove along the Great Ocean Road to see the vistas.

We'll do it all over again when my brother Tim and his wife Karen come in April! Sarah and Kevin leave today, but Kate's here to explore Australia for the next two months.
