Blanket Bay

It seems that 9:30 is around the magic time for us to set off in the morning..  It doesnt seem to matter if we sleep in or not, but by the time we pack the car and head off, the time is around 9:30.

Today, on possible the worst day, with all the twists and bends, Lidia forgot to latch the fridge.  When we stopped for morning tea, we found the contents of the fridge freely roaming the caravan floor.  No beer was spilled, so there was no harm done.

Out of interest, here are the muppet mistakes we have made so far:
1. Safety chains not attached x1
2. Roof not latched down x1
3. Roof not put down x1
4. Cupbord doors not latched

So, driving again on the great ocean road, we stopped at Kennett River to see some Koalas. There were loads there, but the only problem was that they were sleeping.  We saw probably 10 over the 500m walk, which is the highest number of wild ones we have seen, not in captivity.

We stopped at Appollo bay to buy some new double pluggers, and some souvenirs then continued on to a rainforest walk at Maits rest.  They had some Mountian Ash trees there 100m tall, although only some of them were still alive and could probably claim the full 100. Beutiful area and walk though.

After the walk we drove into the Great Otway Natonal Park, and to a camping ground there at Blanket Bay.  The road conditions were pretty ordinarry, and the corrigates were massive which gave us all a good shake down.  Made it thought, and have a beach front camp,

 

 

 

After camp was set, we walked a short section of the "Great Ocean Walk" where Lidia had a close call with a brown snake.  Not suprisingly after than we kept ouerself to the camp side and just relaxed.
