Mount Compass

14 – 16 November 2024

We returned to the highway and began the journey to Mount Compass. We stopped at a coffee van at the turn-off to Adelaide and continued on through the city – at its associated traffic – arriving at Mount Compass at lunch time. We settled on to a site close to the amenities and camp kitchen.

Our main reason for visiting Mount Compass is its proximity to another favourite birding spot – Cox’s Scrub. It’s close enough to be able to get there early, and it’s also a very nice caravan park. The pub in town also does a good meal so we did shout ourselves lunch there one day.

Mick takes his birding very seriously

As well as an early morning trip to Cox’s Scrub we also visited the providore and bought some local jam and chutney. We don’t buy souvenirs, but we do buy local produce and other yummy treats.

Mick was keen to drive the Great Ocean Road to do some more birding so we decided that Nelson would be our next stop.
