Left Tom and Narissa to pick up our rental car in the morning – this time a tiny Toyota Yaris. After a quick stop in Torquay we drive along the great ocean road to the famous Bells Beach; there was a tiny wave but nowhere to hire any boards so surfing not really an option. Continuing along the GOR we stopped at the Split Point Lighthouse (of “round the twist” fame), the memorial arch and Lorne and Kennett river (koala spotting).
We stopped for the night at a fantastic YHA in Apollo Bay and managed to get upgraded to a double room instead of the dorm. There’s not a whole lot in the town itself except for the beach and a few walks but we’ve got a lot of ground to cover tomorrow so don’t plan to hang around too much anyway.
Koala count: 1 walking along the side of the road, 1 barking at geese (see video), 1 eating, 1 sleeping
