Meandering down the Great Ocean Road we called into Lorne, now that's a top spot, and then on to Apollo Bay where we stayed one night. Just have to say that we had the BEST noodles ever, in a place called 'Chopstix' in Lorne.
We stayed at the Big 4 in Apollo Bay (we have become members, as you get 10% off each stay, see the Van Park Review section). We checked out all the parks and the Big 4 looked the best. We have stopped booking ahead now because the parks websites are often photo-shopped to the point of 'What Tha' when you get there and Trip Advisor really isn't that good for Caravan Parks. Oh, the only exception really re booking ahead is that we had to book somewhere for Easter because we planned to be in Adelaide but when we rang everything was booked out! We are now in Robe, SA for Easter.
The Twelve Apostles really are amazingly beautiful and I can understand why there are sooooooo many tourists. We stopped at a few sites along the way and one was a place called 'Boat Bay' here they have found Koori Middens that date back to a time when you could walk to Tasmania from that spot on the Great Ocean Road. Bloody Hell! There was also the steepest boat ramp I've ever seen. (see gallery)
We are now in Warrnambool because I had to find a dentist.... great fun but its a lovely spot. We are off to see the sites of the town tomorrow but there's a lovely beach here and we are staying at The Surfside Holiday Park, which, wait for it, is actually beside the beach!!! Now there's a surprise.
This is a nice protected spot and will write the park up after we leave.
Heading off Saturday to..... somewhere west of here.
