Great Ocean Road and surrounds

Bells Beach clifftops for breakie,,it was sooo beautiful
South Bells ..absolutely perfect morning..
Apollo Bay fish n chips for lunch.yummo

Bay of Islands... its all just so picturesque



This is Loch ard gorge..its hard to believe that there was a shipwreck and 2 people survived and were washed up here in this gorge..look at the cliffs the guy has to scale to go and get help
see its confirmed ...two survivors


London Bridge

Not a good time to go to Lorne..it was the Labour Day weekend and every man and his dog and his neighbours was there

Dave and I had to have a little rest at the beach cafe


We went on a 12 Apostles helicopter flight and it was unreal..Billy got to sit up front and he felt pretty special. 

Billy the Co-pilot

The Arch..cant understand why they call it that!

Our little mosquito that we went on...We want one...

The Grotto

The Grotto

Cheese factory at Timboon

Dave checked out the Distillery and it was good..

Ian from the van next to us showed Billy how to crack a bull whip..he did really well until he cracked himself in the leg drawing blood..then we found out it was a full adult size whip..



Billy and I trying to sort our escape route in the maze at the park in Warrnambool

Billy on flying fox in park..

Riding our bikes was a great way to get around Warrnambool (as its nice n flat) we are out near the breakwall here and these are old unused aquariums from years ago..you used to walk down around them.

On the break wall itself

Our friends Robyn n Bruces farm that we stayed on while we traveled the Great Ocean Road.. we didnt realise that it was the Labour Day weekend that we were gonna be on the GOR and it was sooo nice off these guys to let us use their property as a home base..

30+ up to 39deg whilst here at Wensleydale at Robyn n Bruces..thank god they had this pool..is was a lifesaver.

Dave doing it tough trying to keep out of the sun..

Billy hit it off with Robyns  grandson Corey and he got to drive this buggy and a big quad bike and got towed around the dam in a boat by the quad..he had a ball.
Port Fairy was a really pretty place, it was just a shame that the weather was crap while we were there. This is some of the cannons on show at the memorial park in Port Fairy.
