Warnambool wasn't a huge place, but quite a bit bigger than most towns along this Great Ocean Road. It wasn't out of the way and actually quite a perfect location to grab a bite before heading back to Melbourne. lucky us. We stopped first to watch for whales, at Logan's nursery as we had read of a sighting the day before. Lo and behold, we saw a whale in the distance and stood mesmerized in delight as the tail seemed to splash hello! again, lucky us.
We may have stopped a bit early in the day for a lunch affair, but hey the kermonds boys didn't seem to flinch when I asked if we could order burgers at 10:30am. good on him. I was reminded of my days at the Patti Shack (aka Dairy Burger, aka Dairy Queen) when the young ones were allowed to run the shop alone. Mischief you say? Danger? naaahh, all just good fun and hard work.
The burger came out with perfect meat to bun ratio. No fancy condiments (thankfully pineapple and beetroot upon request - not a standard), perfectly melted cheese and tasty hot chips. One of my free wheelin companion's sister lives in said Warnambool and had downplayed Kermonds. We were quite excited to let her know that her poo pooing days should end. Kermonds was a hit. Perfect way to start off the day. I only wish I had asked the boys for their names. At least I have a picture to remember.
Thanks Kermonds. I hope to meet again.
