Packed up and left Forrest this morning but we will defo be back. Mtn biking alone just isn’t as much fun so we will need to find somewhere to leave the kids or wait til they are old enough to do the trails themselves. We headed for coffee at Apollo Bay and it was heaving, well relatively anyway. Thankfully we took an alternative route back to the coast after that shocking drive up the cliffs to Forrest a few days ago, though it was still hairy enough with the trailer.
We enjoyed our coffees on the beach while the kids ran around and enjoyed beach stuff. Beach weather again, but we were not brave enough for a swim. After lunching at the side of the Great Ocean Road we finally got to see why it has this name. To date much of the road has been inland with glimpses of the coast, but not today. Beautiful scenery as the road hugged the coast back to our next stop at Torquay.
We set up camp as a nice little campsite with bouncing pillow, playground, “kiddie room”, pool, the works, so the kids were happy at least….well for all of 5 minutes. We pretty much immediately decided to extend our stay by another day, otherwise we would be a little too rushed here.
Down to Surf Beach after dinner to check it out and catch a few crabs. Thankfully the kids didn’t have buckets, so they got one each and released them back to a rock pool pretty quick. And finally, worn out, we have silence. Time for a beer I think!
from Christine, Sunday 26th at 12.03pm our time: Rod and I drove the GOR in April 2009 and loved it. I really enjoy your reminders to me of that wonderful time. Great knowing you are seeing so much and being free! Hopefully, we will come with you next time to mind the childen while you go bike riding:)
