Apollo Bay- We stayed here a few nights first on a site which I didn't reckon much too and then the last couple of nights in the carpark of a hostel. We liked Apollo bay the coastline was really pretty and it has some nice little shops. While staying here we went in the Otway national park. We visited the rainforest walk called Maits and the Otway fly which is a walkway in the canopy of the forest. The trees are amazing in the rainforest and in the bush! We went to where the lighthouse was but we didn't go in James didn't seem too excited by it! We also met a German man who was working as a baker in Apollo Bay he was quite funny during our quiz game of deal or no deal!
Moving on we drove through Lorne, Very Nice! Lots of lovely little shops I really liked it
Geelong
! James enjoyed watching the surfers while I shopped, well browsed anyway! We carried on and made our way to the surfing capital of the world well one of them anyway. Torquay. We were tempted to have a lesson but I couldn't get out of the car for the force of the wind. We will definately have a lesson though but when it is warmer. James really liked Torquay and would have stayed longer.Next place to call Geelong which is a biggish place which has some really funny wooden collumns on the beach. We had a walk around the beach and the town but we decided not to stay here and moved on. Instead we went ot Queenscliff which is right on the end of the peninsula. A lovely little town with some nice shops and cafes, very much a community. I am trying so hard not to buy things and I haven't bought anything but it is hard I keep seeing lots of nice things for friends and family but I can;t carry them. I have also seen lots of things that would look nice in my house but that will have to wait. It is here at Queenscliff that we took the ferry over to the Mornington Peninsula to head up and see Sundeep.
