Phillip Island to Geelong

Stayed 2 nights at a little beach side place called Inverlock not far from Phillip Island. Very beautiful  area to have a stop over but the weather wasn't kind and we got around in  winter woolies for the 2 days. Like to see the place in full sun. Took a day trip to Phillip Island the home of the fairy penguins and motor bike racing,also stopped at a chocolate factory and indulged.  We stopped for lunch at San  Remo and was amazed to see a lady feeding the sting rays by hand.Of coarse it was all for the tourists but she has only been doing this for 2 weeks

Leaving Inverlock we went to Melbourne and had to have a coffee with Norm at Wagstaff Piling , let me tell you he brews a mean drop. It was great to see Norm as the boys met many many years ago so a short catch up was a must. Also i think Baggy needed a Wagstaff Piling fix, i think he wanted a start......

We kept on the move and went over the  Westgate Bridge high above the city then we continued on our way to Sheralyns and Johns place at Geelong. They were kind enough to let us take over there very long drive-way and put 2 caravans there, also the cars. No room for John he had to leave his car on the street.  Stayed 2 nights and many a tale was told around the B_B_Q both nights. Thanks guys...Looked over Geelong city and the surrounds .The outer beaches were great and we all love Queenscliff sitting right out on a far point. Very trendy ,all the old cottages were renovated and of coarse very expensive real estate.

Heading off today for the great ocean road not sure where we will end up,but intend to go north at some stage to visit  Chris and  Justin and see there amazing property sitting around the Grampians. Till next time,
