... some of Rob’s family who own an ex-B&B in Apollo Bay, called Spindrift.
Apollo Bay is right on the Southern Ocean, with 2cm of the coast line eroding every year, which is a bit of a worry for those houses (including Ray and Ted’s) which is practically on the beach! Jess and I decided to go rock pooling soon after we arrived. The beach turns into a rocky walk on one side which allows for great rock pooling. The tide was coming ...

After 30 kms we headed off the main road to the Bimbi campsite where had been told you could see lots of Koalas. The campsite was a bit quiet being the peak of off- season. After wandering around for a few minutes we spotted our first Koalas perched 20 feet up in a Eucalyptus tree looking like giant fur balls. Having met (and stroked) a Koala ...
