I (vic) live with a frolicking gazelle (very active person) and before our stay asked Graham if we could swim in that Great Southern Ocean and he replied we do so down the path we went and in Kate's words magic.
We made a few friends there, some wrens, willie wagtails, maggies, sparrows, and a couple of bunnies.
We stay in a few A B&Bs (Canberra, Port Stephens), and each one always adds to our trips and is better than just a room with a TV and a bathroom (hotels which are mentioned but not worth writing about)
We have added (Amhurst) Port Fairy to our list of recommendations
