17th september 2007, beachport to warnambool.




wow what a wonderful nights sleep that was, no fuck wits in sight.

so leaving beachport today. still not at the great ocean road, that starts when we get to warnambool.

so toady we decide to take it easier, yesterday was a rather big drive. actually looking at the map it is about the same as today, by the looks of it.

so anyway i wanted to go to moutn gambier there is a old volcanoe that has been filled with water, its called blue lake. and wow we got there and it was really really blue. i have never seen such a blue lake like that before, i would like to say we walked round it, but we drove. yeah i got a car and im intitle to be lazy, i have walked all over china, thai, KL, singapore. dam you i will be lazy for once.
also in mount gambier we located another lake, called valley lake, this has a couple of lakes, a place called mutton leg, but that had no lake, not sure how it is a mutton leg, apparently it use to be one.
had a little walk round this lake. went into town and look for a few bits. got some jeans for 10 english pounds. not bad i thought.
Then back on the road, princes highway. went through heywood, missed portland, went through port fairy, up to warrnambool.. this is where the great ocean road starts, so decided to hang around here for the night. booked into another camp site, its ok, just $20, which is less then a tenner between two of us.
and we have lots to see and do as from tomorrow, we realised that the journey down to here wouldn't contain much, but it was still nice to see some of oz scenery.
