We
loved our our camp site overnight, hidden in the trees with a
beautiful view over the ocean. We awoke to the sound of birds
chattering away and soon had breakfast underway and the van packed
for the second last time.
Driving
out of the National Park was an obstacle course of cars parked on the
side of the road with their passengers out looking up to the tree
tops, checking out the koala bears. Evidently this colony of Koalas
is quite famous – oops, we thought we had stumbled onto the great
lost koala colony.
We
again motored along the Great Ocean Road and the vista continue to
gob smack us with it's beauty. We've done many of the iconic ocean
roads in the world but this has to be the most impressive. We
stopped in Apollo Bay for the morning coffee and papers, then found a
little bit of sand to touch up the tans. Lunched at a cute river
picnic area then continued onto one of the Victorian icon waterfalls
at the picturesque town of Lorne.
Our
second last stop of the day was one of the 'free' beaches in
Victoria. The beach was near the town of Anglesea and quite
dramatic. We went for a long walk along the beach but didn't disrobe
due to the slightly cool breeze – enough said.
We
set up camp tonight in a caravan park that was obscenely expensive -
$40 for an unpowered site, and crawled into bed after dinner with our
books and headlamps.
