It rains most the night again and the forecast is for more rain. Not much fun doing bush walking in the rain so we reluctantly decide to move on, as today is supposed to be the better day out of the next three and it is not shaping up too good. We pack up with the mud under foot, the kids have time for a bit more of a play and we move on up the Great Ocean Road, again the outside temp is 16C, only moving up by a couple of degrees by lunch time. We call into a lovely little cafe in Princetown for a toilet stop and a cuppa. What an inviting little place this is. We sit here for a while an peruse all the home made produce and chat to the lady who is a local dairy farmer. Then we head on to see the 12 Apostles.
It is just blowing a gale out here. The scenery is just magnificent and we stop and look at all the things we can see on the way, along with every other tourist and caravanner. Over the years these amazing formations have been developed and will continue to change with the wind and water erosion. Eventually I guess, the 12 Apostles will be become 11 and 10 and so on. We have also heard talk of resorts being built out here which would be a shame. It strikes me that some of the most amazing sites we have seen in our travels have all been a result of the ultimate artist herself "Mother Nature". The gorges, the Great Barrier Reef and this spectacular coastline.
We drive on and before we know it we have left the Great Ocean Road, feeling a bit flat as it was a shorter than expected trip. We don't no where to stay next as we now have no plans or deadlines which is how we like it. We drive through a few more towns and then Warnambool which is just enormous. We settle on Port Fairy which the kids like the sound of. We check into a park with a heated pool which is a very popular decision, but best of all, "No timers" on the showers!!!!
