The Great Ocean Road

Well we left the great city of Melbourne in Lionel (the commodore) for the great ocean road (GOR). Started our journey in a place called Port Campbell next to the 12 apostles. Arrived as usual at dusk in the freezing cold, and it was fun putting up an eightman tent that came free with lionel as you can imagine the odd arguement came with it but once it was up wow what a palace it has three rooms but we decided that just the two was enough. Spent the night just chilling and realising we had no mattress in the tent to sleep on we decided to borrow the cushions off the settee out of the tv room for comfort and yes we did return them in the morning as we invested in a blow up mattress the next day as well as other luxury items. Spent the next day travelling to port fairy and warnabool taking in several amzing sites and gorgeous coastline. Stopped at Tower Hill national park and got to see loads of koalas including one walking across the street infront of lionel and then saw him climbing the tree, got to see some BIG daddy kangeroos definitely not going to mess with them and as we left got to see some emus flirting with lionel! When we got back to the campsite and freezing our asses' off a kind guy called nigel built us a fire and gave me a lesson as well into how to build a fire properly and it was fab just what we needed shame we couldn't take it into the tent with us.
The next day we did more of the GOR including the bay of islands, the arch and london bridge. Cannot begin to describe how amazing and dramatic the coastline is it was wonderful but bloody chippy choppy!! next it was off to see the twelve apostles huge rocks in the sea but there is no longer twelve of them there is now only eight or nine with the recent falling only last year. The sunset was amazing. Getting back to the campsite it was my night to build the fire and i did myslef proud with no help from anyone i built a towering inferno that lasted long into the night with nigels lesson and my girl guide instincts i knew i could do it and it even drew a crowd of people who were impressed with my skills! and helped themselves to the warmth.
Left for lorne the next day half way back to melbourne on the great ocean road stayed here for two nights taking in some magnificent waterfalls and again great scenary, and lee let my buy two more blankets from the salvation army as the weather does not seem to be getting any warmer but i suppose it is winter!
Then that was it the end of our GOR experience definitely would do it again and would reccommnend anyone else to do it.
