Robe SA

Yes that sounds like a nice trip, but I'd agree with the other posters, make sure you take a windbreaking jacket and fleece or two along cos its well windy, I went in feb and about froze my arse off - pretty though. I liked Robe, and we did the afternoon tea thing at Port Campbell plenty of scone/tea outlets, I like that on my holidays

Beachport is another favourite of mine in the area, another fishing village that has captured a slice of the tourism market. The local YHA is a terrific little place, with that typical South Australian large roomed open feeling to it. We would wander down to the jetty and check out the catch when the fishing boats come in, quite often full of crays...

Thanks everyone - I will check out Beachport (never heard of it). I realise the weather can be changable, we were very lucky last time with beautiful sunny days and definitely no wind.

Last time we did the trip some 8 years ago we stayed at Port Fairy (nice little town), Cape Otway Lighthouse (very relaxing if spooky three nights) and one night in Lorne (lovely old rambling hotel that was on the verge of falling down) - I wasn't very taken with Apollo Bay at the time.
