When travelling there are particular trends that happen...regularly. When something gets fixed another problem comes around; now we have a wet mattress and bed sheets. The night we stayed at Bendigo we didn’t do up the tent properly and somehow in the pouring rain, water had seeped in and made the whole bed soaking in water. Sigh, that night we engaged our plan B sleeping arrangement and thankfully slept in our sleeping bags. It wasn’t the most comforting night with the temperature getting down below 8 degrees and sleeping on nothing soft. So a caravan park was inevitable to dry everything out.
But on the way down towards our chosen park we happen to miraculously stubbled onto the Great Ocean Road. It was a miserable day with on and off rain and random sunshine but sometimes you’ve just got to take what’s given. The GOR started around Torquay which is known for its surfing community and the famous international Bells Beach which was a definite sight to see with all the amazing wind surfers in the rough seas. Further down the road was a beautiful town of Lorne which showed off double story cafe’s looking out to the ocean and spacious green areas to lay about. But the most amazing drive was still yet to come; a few kilometres down, we see our one lane road curve around the cliffs with the abundance of motorhomes in our way.

Thankfully for them, we had to slow it down as the road was become narrower with only a vertical drop down on one side and a vertical climb up on the other and the only thing slopping us going over was a little piece of steel frame. Somehow, I didn't think that would've stop a 3.3t troppy going at 50km. Most of the pictures will illustrate the road.
We stayed at a caravan park near Apollo Bay which wasn’t in the budget but well worth the money for warm sheets and a hot shower.
