So its the final part of our road trip now, along the south coast - Great Ocean Road to Adelaide. Was tricky trying to get out of Melbourne avoiding the toll roads but we evetually arrived on the Great Ocean Road. Its an extremely scenic drive with breath taking views, dotted with beautiful costal towns. Our plan was to stop at Apollo Bay and as soon as we arrived we instantly wanted to stay, but with it being peak season all the campsites were full =( We managed to get in at the recreation field, very expensive for what it was and we had to do a walk across the rugby pitch to get to a toilet, which is not easy if you need the toilet in the middle of the night!! Once again i had to play ready steady cook with the limited ingredients we had in the van, lol (were not skint yet just trying to eat up all the food before we give the van back) its difficult when you only have potatoes, a tin of spaghetti, 2 eggs and a jar of jam!! You give it ago =) We awoke bright and early next morning eager to get on with our trip as we had a long way to drive. Unfortunatly it was overcast and drizzly - but i,m sooooo glad it was, have you ever seen a soaking wet koala before?? well i have! We were driving to cape otway lighthouse when we noticed one sitting in a tree by the road side, it was at shoulder height so we managed to get some great photos. It was soaking wet and looked like a big fluff ball - so cute! I didn't want to leave it i thought it might like to get in our van to get towel dried and have a nice mug of hot chocolate but Daryl said no! We spotted loads more on the way. Luckily when we got back to the coast the sun shine came out we stopped at the loch ard gorge and then the Twelve Apostles - the views were breath taking and we couldnt have asked for better wether. We also passed the town of Port Campball which is a great little place. This has got to be the best drive of our lives for sure! Great Ocean Road came to an end tho and after quite some hours driving we had allready crossed the boarder into south Australia. We couldnt drive any further by this point as it was beginning to get dark and we were both falling asleep so we spent the night in a free rest sight on the edge of the highway. Dont think Daryl got much sleep as he was constantly looking outta the window keeping watch, but i had a great nights sleep! The following morning we set off early as we had 450km to clear to get to Adelaide. Can't say as there's much to be seen in SA, the roads were sooo straight and sooo long but we did pass miles and miles of vine yards - jacobs creek and lindermans...etc nice to know where your next glass is coming from! We finally arrived in Adelaide in the late afternoon, first impressions were great but couldnt get a campsite as they were all fully booked...Again!! Thankfully the tourist info managed to get us one 7km out of the city which turned out to be real cheap which is strange for so close to the city! was lovely though. Our final night in the van was a cold one, but i still felt a bit upset giving the van back in the morning! Hate not having our own transport, we looked like a pair of pack horses loaded up with our rucksacks, food bags....etc luckily we managed to get the free tram and bus to the hostel where we are staying for the week. Its a great city we really like it here, you cant really compare it to sydney or mel. Its actually got some amazing looking historic buildings (if you call 150yrs historic as i know most of us probably have a tin of something or other lurking in the back of the kitchen cupboard that probably pre dates that!! ha ha) an old englishy look with all the things a city has to offer but with a very clean relaxed atmosphere! Were really looking forward to New Zealand now, weve got another 3days in sydney before we catch our flight and then it's bye bye australia, we'll really miss oz as weve had the best time and made some great friends!
