05.10 JB's Birthday Weekend

As it was JB's 30th, we thought that we'd better head out of Melbourne and head down the Great Ocean Road for the weekend. Having just spent five weeks in NZ, we thought John wouldn't mind another couple of days of 'carrier bag living'. Luckily for us he didn't!

We arrived on Friday evening in torrential rain, to the point that we could hardly see where we were driving! Fortunately the weather improved slightly for us and all the waterfalls were flowing freely.

The first stop on Saturday was the market before making our way up to the Otway Fly.

The Otway Fly

This is an amazing tree top walk through the rainforest, unfortunately they don't take YHA discounts!

Triplet Falls & Stevensons Falls

We visited a couple of the local waterfalls, which had benefited greatly from the rain the night before!

Apollo Bay YHA

This is perhaps one the best YHA's here!

Apollo Bay Beach

A quick stroll on the beach and pier after a fish 'n' chip supper!

Breakfast Oz Style!

This is the life, breakfast on the deck!!

On the Great Ocean Road

We headed to Port Campbell for a drink before the return journey that took in all of the rock formations that form the Shipwreck Coast. By the end, you might be able to see in the second to last photo, that we got a little 'rocked out'!

Every felt you're inside the Matrix sometimes? Small glitch here, I'm surprised I haven't been visited by Agent Smith!
