Eventually woke up around 830am after an interrupted night's sleep with the kids getting up and down for the toilet - thank goodness we have one in the van!! It was another beautiful day (32 degrees) so we decided to skip schoolwork and after breakfast headed out along the Great Ocean Road. We have got into the pattern of topping up the water tanks from the containers on the top of the car before we go anywhere so that if we find water en route we can fill up...

Woke really early (for us anyway) at 7am and decided to get up and showered before the kids woke up. We packed up the van after breakfast and were on the road by 9am. It was a beautiful day - very clear and the sun was shining - so we saw some stunning glimpses of the ocean as we travelled along the Great Ocean Road. We decided not to pull in to any of the look out points with the van (we will come and do it again tomorrow and take our time) and we were very g...

We all had a great night sleep and woke around 9am. It was overcast and drizzly again but it soon cleared up so we even more washing after breakfast. We sat and had a second cup of coffee while reviewing our route around Australia and by the time we'd finished we'd both forgotten what we had agreed! Needless to say our plans have changed yet again! We spent the day exploring Warrnambool, a great town surrounded by water and has parks and sports facilities e...

Despite being clean, no one slept very well and nearly everyone was up in the night at some point so in the end we didn't wake up until 9am. We sat outside and had coffee and then Nick walked into town to get the papers while I made everyone breakfast. Eventually we were ready to head into Port Fairy and it only took 15 minutes to get there. We drove through the town and found a park on the wharf, then walked up both banks of the Moyne River looking at the h...

Got up around 8.30am and most people were up and about (apart from last night's intruders) so we cranked up the generator and made coffee. Nick made everyone breakfast while I very slowly packed up the van. We were eventually on the road by 11am and Koroit was only an hour away. We have decided to stay in Koroit for the next three nights as we want to explore Port Fairy and Warrnambool, but caravan parks in both towns were too expensive and there is no free ca...
