Summer 2021 in Warrnambool

 It was back to Shipwreck Bay for our annual week over the summer break

3rd  - 10th January 2021
Section 19, site 49
$63 per night 

This year was different, all previous bookings were cancelled around June this year due to Covid and it was announced that limited sites would be filled and you could opt to go into a ballot system for a site drawn at random for 1 week only. We choose to go into the ballot and were lucky enough to get a site and to get our original site, as the weeks were set we had to change our dates from the 2nd-9th Jan to the 3rd-10th Jan which didn't really matter to us. Granny & Pa who usually camp next to us got site 11 in the same section as us so they weren't that far away.

The park was so quite not having very many sites filled and didn't have the same vibe that summer usually has but at the same time it was also good being quieter to get the kids to sleep and not being so busy with them riding their bikes around and running around.

Monday was terrible weather so after searching around for some indoor activities we came across and special for bowling 1 game for $7 so we tried our hand at 10 pin bowling

After bowling I went and got a massage for a sore back and took the pram with me in the car...

Tuesday weather was a little bit better but still very cold and windy, the boys played golf and Granny and I took the kids and Jayden down to the skate park for a scoot

On Wednesday our friends from Port Fairy came into Warrnambool for a visit, we had a few drinks, played cricket and caught up for the afternoon and finally got a little bit of sunshine

That night we went to the carnival where the kids got to choose 2 rides each and some fairy floss

Then Thursday the weather started to warm up. We went for a walk from the caravan park to the Breakwater and got a coffee and walked our on the pier

Back past the skate park again and around to Lake Pertobe Playground

Stingray Bay & Neptunes Necklace

Friday we went to Stingray Bay which is down near the breakwater, it is at the mouth of the Merri River and is a sheltered cove which was great for the kids to play in the water

There is a walk that begins here and leads to Thunder Point, we did Part of the walk and stopped to explore Neptunes Necklace, which is a marine sanctuary with little rock pools and caves.

Aunty Madi, Umcle Bruce, Aleiyah and Oliver came down for a night on Friday night 

and Saturday (our last day) was finally a proper beach day & Nash's first time at the beach!

 

and just like that another Warrnambool summer holiday is over!
