woke up to a wet morning so as the next few days will bring. today we decided to chill and relax. we only visited the local town, a Wine vineyard Resort, of which had a Hotel so I Dropped in a copy of my Resume into them. we also went of to the http://www.yarravalleychocolaterie.com.au/
and then back to Badge Creek Campsite.
The Chocolate Factory.


 

Day 3

Consisted of waking up early and getting into to city to look around, Melbourne is a culture City. I find it worse to drive around than Adelaide. and more expensive to park in. (WA Rocks)
during the day we visited the Botanic Gardens, had a ride on the trams, walked around the city.

The Great Ocean Road

Travel little yet seen so much.

Yesterday we left Mount Gambier and last night we stayed at Warrnambool.
I woke up at 6am this morning so we could leave earlier. we left at around 8am.
It wasn't too long after leaving we arrived onto the great ocean road, it wasn't as great To begin with as the weather was wet, windy and gloomy. But as we approached the start of the twelve apostles that's when it started to become great. The twelve apostles are Land lumps that stick up from the ground.


London Bridge has travel far and wide to get here in a different shape. (London bridge)









 
 
After seeing the Twelve Apostles we moved on further and stoped of to have lunch at the Melba Gully State Park.













And After the Melba Gully we moved onto Cape Otway not to see the lighthouse but to see the hundreds of Koalas,









As the Great Ocean went on we arrived at Apollo Bay, we were pondering weather to stay here or carry on. we carried on looking for a campsite. we managed to find one soon before Lorne. we went in and discovered it was a nice place but it would be raining that night and following morning so we decided to backpackers again. so sere staying and a lovely place in Lorne. before Arriving at Lorne we saw the picturect Coast line of the Great Ocean road where we wind your way round the hills all along the coast line. Stopping of looking at water Falls also.
