The Places We've Been

Lorne (16/12/11 - 18/12/11)

A very windy, scenic 40kms west of Apollo Bay is Lorne and our next stop.  Simon is happy as he hasn't had to fuel the car up for over a week.

Another beautiful town, which the yuppies seem to love.  Spent some time at a local waterfall, Erskine Falls - stunning, despite the 300 odd steps down and back up again.  Especially when Ben had decided he'd seen enough of the waterfall 30 seconds after arriving!!  

While we were checking out some of the local mansions, Ben said he spotted a koala on the road.  Must say we thought he was stretching the truth.  But he wasn't, there crossing the road was a koala.  It ran into someone's yard.  Then we spotted a huge male koala starting to climb a tree.  We were within metres.  A neighbour informed us that the 2 males had been fighting over a female koala.  More photos - we can't get enough of these beautiful creatures.

Last tourist stop before heading back to camp for a G&T (even Simon is drinking them now!) was Teddy Lookout.  Beautiful view.

Our last day in Lorne was spent doing very little.  Walk into town, play at park, lunch at bakery, stroll along the beach and writing this blog!!

Tomorrow we head to Barwon Heads....we think!
