Great Ocean Road

Leaving Geelong  it was only about 1/2 hour down the road to the start of the Great Ocean Road.  The scenery on this drive would have to be one of the most spectacular drives and the most gorgous views that we have seen so far.  Its up there on the top of the list..  I suppose you will hear me saying that many times as we travel around this great land of ours.

The first night we stayed at a camp at Joahana Bay, a little cold and rainy but not unpleasant, Mick had a chat to a fellow who has been camping there for 20 years, and he had not caught a salmon this trip, Mick thought that was enough for him, so did not wet a line.  No salmon on the Bass Strait. Are you hearing me everyone, no Bass, only 1 Trout ,and no Salmon. There is not much hunting and gathering going on i can tell you.
Travelled the rest of the Great Ocean Road next day stopping at all the incredible sites,of coarse The Twelve Apostles was  amazing ,but each stop was a breath taking view, London Bridge (it has collapsed but still fantastic) The Arch, passed the Bay of Martyrs and The Bay of Islands  walked down a great amount of steps and found ourselves in a beautiful cove.

Had lunch at Port Cambell and travelled on toWarranambool where there is a cheese factory,went into shop for a little cheese tasting or 2 or 3. Of coarse we had to buy...... Yummy... Last port of call for the day was  Port Fairy to book in for two  nights.  Will check out the sites of Port Fairy today before we move on to Mt Gambier then a bit of back tracking to go and visit Chris and Justin .  We are going inland for a few days to the Grampians while Trish and Brad will go  up and around  Adelaide. Will do a catch up down the track...

  Just love this country......
