Well right at this minute sitting in George in a lovely bush free camping site - the sun was shining today and it was hot - yay - amazing how a few hundred kms can make a world of difference to the temperature. Today we drove - lots but did manage to stop and walk up this water tower at Port Augusta.
Last night we stayed in our first caravan park, having decided we were sick of the cool weather and needed a good shower!!!!! and needed to do our laundry so there you have it.
Today we started to venture towards the Nullarbor Plains - apparently the word Nullarbor means no tree and i can tell you that the lead up to it certainly holds true to its name. Barren, desolate are a few words thats spring to mind and we arent even there yet!!!!
So what about prior to today.... well we have driven a lot and done a few walks, seen some seals at Cape Bridgewater,
didnt see gannets at Cape Grant, saw amazing limestone caves and sinkholes around Mt Gambier.
Been to Adeladie and strolled around the city - so far my least favourite big city.
Picked up a pet by way of a mouse which we are still to get rid of - he must be missing his family by now and Im sure they would like him to come home!!!!!!!
and now we are here back at the top of the page - not an awful lot exciting im afraid but we are still seeing some amazing countryside and having a good time.

Twelve Apostles
Had a wonderful breakfast at Lorne, we are quite spoilt with our kitchens sometimes, although I have to say it is a bit cooler at the moment, before journeying to The great Ocean Road and the highlight of the Twelve Apostles.
Had to walk down Gibsons steps to the bottom so we could get a bit closer to the cliff, it is an amazing cliff face and to see how it is slowly eroding to form these wonderful structures is quite incredible.
Always an opportunity for a bit of fun and a photo shoot - just as well I have a willing partner - thank you honey. So there were some quite big waves out there on the day we were there
and we really needed to pick an opportune time for a photos - the wave in the background just made it look so much better
and it got a little bit bigger, which made it even more interesteing
and then opps it got a whole lot bigger which made it ...... wet
This stalactite cave was at the Loch and Gorge - part of the Great Ocean Rd
and this is the view looking back at it
more limestone structures
this one aptly being name the Razorback
and then we came to The Bay of Islands and this amazing boat ramp - try launching on this one
and that was about it for the Great Ocean Road.
