Bugs, Babies & Life Stories

After setting up, sorting washing, feeding the ducks and meeting the local Koala we had dinner and put the girls down. Then Andrew and I braved the freezing conditions and sat outside, reading and playing computer games just so we could have a night that we were not in bed at 7pm

We got on the road early and headed up the GOR heading to Warnanbal the weather was not the best for experiencing our amazing coastline till the best of its potential, however we ventured on. First stop was the 12 Apostles, it was cold, wet, windy, but we rugged up and went out to the spectacular coastline. After the usual tourist shots we jumped back in the warm dry car and headed to Port Campbell for lunch, I think this was most unmemorable stop of the trip, 3/4 of the town was closed and the only place we could get any food was processed fish and chips for $10!!!!! We then got back on the road and kept driving and driving and driving and driving. Not seeing much more than rain and car parks, to protect the coastline to see it you have to get out of the car and walk up to 5 minutes to see anything and in the rain with 2 kids it just was not worth it. It was 3:30pm when we finally got to Warnanbal, it had taken us over 6 hours to get there which meant it was going to take us at least that if not longer as it would be in the rain in the dark to get back to the van. So this decision was made and we found somewhere to stay, purchased PJ's for the girls, got KFC for dinner and had the BEST nights sleep in days. The room we got had a Queen bed, two single beds IN A SEPARATE room, shower, heating and TV. Ohh I love the experiences of camping but there is something to be said for modern comforts.
