Long Weekend in Warrnambool

I just needed to get away from work for awhile - Sue noticed, so she organised a long weekend away.
Warrnambool is on the Victorian south west coast. Migrating whales frolic near Warrnambool's beaches as they head south. It is the home of one of the worlds oldest one day bike races - the Melbourne to Warrnambool. I rode it a few times in my younger years. Only 245 kms.
It holds an annual steeplechase race - not so popular these days with those who are not into horse racing.
Today it has a population of 34,000 and is a growing community. Might even be a place to consider for retirement - we'll see.

Hope we get the chance to see a Southern Right Whale this weekend at Warrnambool.
We'll tell you more about Warrnambool on Monday - it will be full of stories about the history, food, wine and activities. Can't wait to take off in the morning.
