Day Ninety Three - October 7th, 2013 Torquay to Cowes, Phillip Island We waved goodbye to the Great Ocean Road at Geelong, and bypassed Melbourne and its impressive skyline to head straight to Phillip Island. We crossed over onto the bridge, and followed signs to the Moto GP circuit to have a look around. Unfortunately, renovations were being done and we couldn't get very close up views, but it was cool to see all the same. We then headed to the Penguin Parade...

Day Ninety Two - October 6th, 2013 Torquay We had a lazy morning exploring the surrounding towns of Torquay, including Jan Juc, Bells Beach and Winkipop. The weather was pretty bleak, so while Elly surfed, I lounged in the tent, and spent the day reading and relaxing - what Sundays are made for. The rain held off for an hour and I grabbed the opportunity for a quick run, up the hill in the direction we drove in the morning. It felt good to stretch my legs afte...

Day Ninety One - October 5th, 2013 The Great Ocean Road Torquay I slept properly for the first time in too long, and even had a lie in while Elliot surfed. I woke up when then tent became unbearably hot, and emerged to a glorious day.

At least two hours had passed since his last surf, so of course E...

Day Ninety - October 4th, 2013 The Great Ocean Road Apollo Bay to Torquay My promise that I'd 'never complain of the cold again' after feeling the awful humid heat of Darwin and Kakadu was short lived. Last night I complained, a lot. I must have woken up at least six times throughout the night cold to my core, and subsequently didn't sleep well. I was wearing as many layers as possible while Elly snoozed in just his sleeping bag. He was fine, I was not. Tonigh...

Day Eighty Nine - October 3rd, 2013 The Great Ocean Road Warrnambool to Apollo Bay The wind had died off slightly last night, but the rain lashed down upon the tent and we had another pretty restless night. However, the sky was blue when we unzipped the tent, and we excitedly got going with the hopes that our first day on the Great Ocean Road would be kind to us. We checked out and hit the road, following signs to the Great Ocean Road, the largest war memoria...
