Day 13 (13/9) – Along the Great Ocean Road

Towed the van up the road for a look at the famous Bell’s Beach – surf a bit rough but nothing much else happening so moved on (we’re clearly surfers, not). Moved on towards Lorne and Apollo Bay. Can see … Continue reading

Day 12 (12/9) – Melbourne to Torquay (Jan Juc)

Another late start! Can’t seem to make it out of bed much before 9 or 10 these days – shame! Eventually left around lunchtime with a brief stop at Bunnings for some replacement tap fittings (ours were left on Alison’s … Continue reading

Day 9 (9/9) – The Prom again

Rained overnight (again), which made us reconsider our plan to stay an extra night here but the appearance of blue sky and sunshine again next morning reinspired us. Forecast bit dodgy – suggested afternoon rain and possible thunderstorms (eek!). Walked … Continue reading

Day 8 – Wilsons Promontory (“The Prom”)

Freezing night but cozy inside Colin (yes we’ve named the caravan Colin – blame Chris for this one, not me). Woke up to a glorious sunny day, birds chortling and singing (some melodically, some not so much). After a leisurely … Continue reading

Day 7 (7/9) Lakes Entrance to Wilsons Promontory

Sort of forgot to mention the minor disaster discovered when we stopped at the van park yesterday. Unfortunately, despite peering quite hard at the fridge when setting out the morning before to ensure all the settings were correct for travel, … Continue reading

Day 6 (Mon 6/9) Bournda to Lakes Entrance

Another gorgeous day! But decided to move on anyway as can’t stay in one spot for 3 months. Pretty much burned through to Lakes Entrance today with a plan to move on to Wilson’s Promontory tomorrow (if camping available – … Continue reading

Day 5 (Sun 5/9) Bournda NP – cycling and resting

Woke up to blue sky and sunshine – yeay! Still really windy but given the good weather (for a change), staying on and enjoying it seemed like a plan. Actually got the bikes out for the first time this trip … Continue reading
