The very Great Ocean Road...

 Leaving Anglesea...we then set forward on the road proper.  The weather was patchy - rain, cloud and cool temperatures, but the magic shone through.

All the way to Anglesea

 The wind at Cape Liptrap was to heral the arrival of some wet and windy coastal weather as only seen on the coast....we arrived back to the van and immediately had to wind up the awning.  The small awning over our slide out flapped all night for the next few nights meaning it was a little difficult to sleep.

The weather made it a little easier to leave...had it been a bright and sunny day it might have been tougher to leave.  We headed towards Melbourne and ended up on the M1 motorway in Melbourne traffic.  We did not stop...just kept going.  I was so glad V1 was driving....it would have been having kiniptions.  We made it through to Geelong where we stopped to ask some advice from the Jayco dealer.  

We kept travelling and tried to move beyond the suburban sprawl and ended up in Anglesea.  Pulling to camp late we didn’t have much time to look around.  In the morning we were greeted with kangaroos, crowes, and other birds around the van.  

An an early morning walk around it became we were in another seaside town that suffered wind issues - the trees grew sideways.  

Cape Liptrap

 On the way back from Wilson’s, there was a small sign that advised ‘Historic Lighthouse’ was 4 kms off the road.  On a whim, we took the turn down a few narrow roads and then walked the 500 metres from the car park - not knowing what we would see or find.  

The wind was blowing very very strongly when we reached the first lookout.  It was strong enough to knock you off your feet.  The view was spectacular and gave us glimpses of Wilson’s from across the water.  

Moody and wonderful Wilsons Promontory

 Wilsons Promontory was only a couple of hours scenic drive east.  The weather was moody...deep grey clouds covering mountain tops were fitting for Australia’s most southern point.  I wondered what it would look like on a brilliant sunny day - I always imagined the southern tip being exactly as we saw it - deep moody greys and deep greens.  We arrived at Tidal River having driven by Mount Oberon and the sun cam out...allowing us a very pleasant lunch and walk around the river to Lee Orrn.   Beautiful natural, raw and honest are some of the adjectives...pictures don’t seem to do it justice.
