Port Campbell trip

I went to Port Campbell for a photo trip with a couple of mates. (http://www.visitvictoria.com/Regions...-Campbell.aspx)

First an inventory:

6 cameras - Nikon D4, D800, D300S, D700, D90 and Sony RX100, plus our smartphones. Lenses - got the full complement of the Nikkor trinity, some all in one zooms, and primes. RX100 was missing as it was used to take this photo

Hmm, Port Campbell is approx 5 hours drive from Melbourne, we stayed at a single bedroom suite (3 beds!) for 2 nights (A$160 each night), fuel was approx $80 and we just ate simple stuff so altogether approx $500 for the 3 of us. One of the guys drove his own diesel SUV.
