A wonderful riding day allowing Josie to take control and lead the way. Who you may be asking, is Josie. I’ll get to that in a moment.
Today I went from the Limestone Coast with white sand, all the shades of blue water, rugged coastlines, to wonderful farming land, with lush green undulating hills passing through cattle and sheet country and plantation forests.
I continued S along the coast from Robe through to Millicent. I then headed NE to the town, that has been very much in the news, especially last night, of Penola. Yes Saint Mary’s country town. I had morning tea here and it was interesting that this same weekend they were also celebrating the Coonawarra Shiraz Festival.
At this point I set Josie to take over the route. Josie is my female companion that has done the whole trip with me. She is very patient as I don’t always follow her directions and she simply recalculates and comes up with a new route. She is of course my GPS. 
I set the destination as Peterborough on the Great Ocean Road about 50km E of Warrnambool.
Her route took me through SW VIC, some wonderful farming country, along B & C classified roads. There was no traffic (almost no vehicles) and the riding was fantastic. I would never have found my way through, I would have simply stuck to the more major roads.
Overall a 420km ride today, I hope the weather clears for tomorrow. It has continued to fluctuate from sunshine, cloud, pouring rain and almost fog. Please clear as tomorrow I head E along the GOR, something I have been looking forward to for sometime.
