Woo-hoo! I awake to the news that West Brom have won a game finally! The Baggie bird mascot that I have is going to find itself in many photos today in celebration!
We head first to Loch Ard Gorge - site of a ship wreck where there were only two survivors who managed to climb there way to safety - and then we're back on the road down the coast to Apollo Bay.
We get chance to have an hour in the sunshine which has finally decide to join us - "welcome! don't leave me again!" and then fish and chips for lunch. Disappointed - they're not like back home!
As I'm leaving Apollo Bay, I bump into Jess (tour guide from the Outback) - how weird is that? A small world! She's off to a festival for a few days!
Onwards and down to the surf home of the world - Torquay and Bells Beach. The latter being a place used in the Point Break movie - which, being in the know with all things surf (?!), is the home of Rip Curl and Billabong... Maybe I'll go and get measured up for a wet suit!
We're on our final stretch now to Melbourne - a couple of hours drive away for my only night in the City - which ends up being out of the City anyway so not much chance to explore! That's not such a bad thing. I'm exhausted after my couple of days and I'm looking forward to the rest and relaxation I'm hoping to get in Sydney for a week with my own apartment! Bring it on!
