October 20th, Shipwrecked!

We woke up at the caravan park in Warrnambool. We went around town running errands, fixing the car and sending letters home. Then we went to the Flagstaff Hill Maritime Museum where we learned about the 80+ shipwrecks that have occurred in this area known as the Shipwreck Coast. The museum has lots of artifacts saved from the wrecks including a statue of a peacock valued at over $2 million, making it Australia's most expensive piece of maritime history.

Then we drove around trying to find somewhere to use the internet. We ended up at a backpackers where we wrote this entire blog up until now and accidentally deleted it all. I wasn't mad at all..........

Then we had dinner. After dinner we went back to Flagstaff Hill for the night time Shipwrecked light and laser show. For the show we pretended it was 1878 and carried lanterns through a replica town from that area to the waterfront theatre to watch the show. The light and laser show told the history of the ship, the Loch Ard.

After the show we decided to keep moving so we drove out of town until we needed sleep and found ourselves in the middle of nowhere in a town called Penshurst. It was dark. We saw nothing. We slept. The End. Seriously.
