Day 18.03

Atop the hills, or rather bush and scrub-covered sand dunes that surround the ‘Great Ocean Drive’, the windmills turn slowly but surely. (That is, the wind-powered electricity generating turbines, to be accurate.) Some call them an eyesore, usually those that expect all the comforts and conveniences of our modern life. Not we. They are quiet, clean and graceful. They are the first commercial wind-farms, along with those in Albany, built on the Australian coastline.
