Our first night away was spent in Lorne where we managed to see absolutely nothing. We arrived at dusk and then did a big shop before being far too tired to do anything other than sleep. This morning we went to a waterfall (Erskine Falls) that was pretty unspectacular, before heading off towards the most famous parts of the Great Ocean Road. The 12 Apostles are 12 sandstone rocks hundreds of feet high that have formed over the years due to erosion from the tide. We could only spot 10 1/2 though. Maybe Judas had persuaded a couple to crumble and the 1/2 was a lamb or something...anyhow - great views and piccie opportunities. We also saw 'London Bridge' which used to be a bridge but is now an island. There is a reputedly funny story about the day the middle section collapsed leaving the island...a man and women were on it and were eventually rescued later on that day after being filmed by a passing news helicopter. HIS wife wasn't too impressed...when she saw them both on the news...neither was his boss as he'd rung in sick that morning.

So here we sit in Warrnambool - some 400 km into our 2nd road trip - it was a little further than we thought but the only other stay-in-able room en route was in a a place called Peterborough and you know my feelings on that one. Warrnambool is one of the best places in the world to whale watch, as the whales migrate for the summer or winter - can't remember which. Having said that they haven't made and apprarances so far this year...let's hope their alarm is set for June 10th this year as that's what we're doing tomorrow. Pat is looking into the possibility of diving with Great White's - we're going to have to pass on it due to cost but if he does it we'll meet up with him later.till no idea on our route/itinery from here - just see how it goes really.
