To avoid towing our caravan through the middle of Melbourne, we caught the car ferry at Queenscliff. This large catamaran crosses Port Phillip Bay and lands at Sorrento on the Mornington Peninsula. With a capacity of around one hundred vehicles, and costing us $116 for our ute, caravan, two people, two dogs, one cat and one lizard, the voyage takes about 40 minutes and crosses the entrance to Port Phillip Bay. Fortunately Major handled the unusual clunking sounds of the ferry without stress. Before continuing our car journey, both dogs had fun letting off steam by running, playing and swimming in the still shallow water of the bay -- then rolling in golden sand, so lamingtonising their coats!
From Sorrento it's a two-hour drive to San Remo, then on to the bridge that separates Phillip Island from the rest of Australia. It was with mixed emotions that we drove towards our summer home at Grossard Point.
