DAY 130
Waking up to a cold but fairly dry morning, it had periodically rained throughout the night but there was a good strong wind, I was glad of that as the trailer tent could be dried off a little. We had decided to be up early and off, as we had about 145K’s to go on the way we wanted to see the 12 Apostles, London Bridge and all the other things on the Great Ocean Road that were on offer...

12 Apostles
Hi Andy & Caroline, Great photos! These scenes bring back a lot of memories for us from when we lived in Melbourne years ago and used to drive the GOR on weekends, etc. You will get some of the wildest weather in Australia along this strip of the coast but, even so, still well worth the drive, whatever the weather - fine, sunny, wet, cold or "blow-your-head-off" windy. The GOR has many moods and, the scenery just as spectacular, whatever the weather! Easy to see why this is known as the Shipwreck Coast. In the old days, many a sailing boat came to grief on the treacherous reefs and rocky coastlines that abound along here. Warrnambool is a decent-sized town and, Flagstaff Hill, well worth a visit. Re the Wicked campervans - aren't they great? and, all individual. We love reading the different sayings and phrases on each one. Very amusing! Cheers. Love, Jan & Ted xxx
