Port Fairy is a costal town located about 2 hours drive from my parent's place. On a sunny day, James and I drove along the Princes Highway on our way to Port Fairy. Along the way were many interesting sights, among them the Codrington Wind Farm. I toured this farm on two previous occassions, and on both occassions the owners provided an excellent commentary of their wind farm. Unfortunately, on this day, the farm was closed to the public.
It always amazes me that the cows that graze on the farm are not bothered by the noise made by the giant propellers. Believe me, the noise is huge!

Tower hill Reserve, located near Warrnambool, was formed by a volcanic eruption some 30,000 years ago. The reserve is home to a variety of wildlife: emus, kangaroos and the elusive koala bears. In fact, this is the only place where I have spotted koalas in situ.
Kangroos are a common sight on the reserve.
Koala bears sleep an awful lot. The few times that I have seen koalas in the wild, all of them have been sleeping.
