Yesterday we travelled from Adelaide via Victor Harbor to Port Fairy in Victoria where we stayed the night. I manged to find a wireless network at the Comfort motel we stayed at, but there are internet connections everywhere as it is an upmarket holiday town.

The internet worked on the electricity lines not the phone lines. After a slow start it worked quite well. Sometimes it got blocked, but I manged to administer thoughtfactory, post to the weblogs, and even posted to Flickr. The latter was slow but I got there.

Update
We explored Port Fairy after checking out from the hotel. It is the home of a folk festival and is on the international tourist route of Halls Gap and Port Fairy in Victoria and Robe and Kangaroo Island in South Australia. There is a lot of money here--wealthy retirees and professionals who work in Warnabool.

There were up market clothes shops, non-medical health professionals, spar baths, cottages and murals:

This is the jewel in the Victorian crown.
