          Cowes to Woodbridge Beach

Up betimes to check out of the "Phillip Island Park Lane Holiday Park" and make our way to Rhyll (which, unlike its namesake in Wales, is spelt with two l's which will, no doubt, infuriate the UK and Welsh followers of of this blog)

        Checking out of the "Park Lane"

But not before photographing the somewhat endearing koala "statue" which adorns the entrance to the Rusty Water Brewery & Restaurant. Stunning!

Rhyll is located to the east of Cowes and early on a Saturday morning there didn't seem to be much going on. Even the Rhyll-Phillip Island Angling Club was not open - even to members!

We left Rhyll in a sort of medium-high to moderate dudgeon and left Phillip Island via the aforementioned bridge.

We then made our way to Kilkunda, Wonthaggi and then to Inverloch for morning tea.

 Then on to Tarwin Lower (we gave Tarwin Upper a miss) before deciding to take our luncheon at Foster adjacent to the town museum.

We decided to end our day's  journey at Woodside Beach (where there is no mobile phone service or internet - which explains the late publication of today's blog).

Woodside Beach (or part of it). Not that interesting if I am completely honest!
