Set off from The Shed about 10ish to get to The Wyre River. Stopped at Geelong for a lunch stop the arrived at our beach cottage on the Great Ocean Road. It was very high up on the cliff face,certainly you could walk down but not a hope in hell walk back! These places are so like North Cornwall, but without all the shops. Here there is one Motel with a bar, a bit expensive $10 for a pint of larger. Or The General Store which again over priced but if you were stuck it's ok.
Anyway we had a lovely wander along the sand,the sea is freezing have brought my swim stuff but not sure I'll go for a dip! Klara is getting better every time we go down to the sea, but still not totally gone in for a swim. Not too bad don't really want soaking wet dog in the car!
The weather a little cooler today, so much so Mick set to work and lit the enormous wood burner we have in this huge 2 bed roomed beach cottage but has no sun in afternoon so felt cool when we came back. Warm now
Cooked lovely dinner, roast chicken with lots of veg. Elli tried out some of the recipes we learnt at Maggie Beers farm shop, excellant.
Sunday 18th
While we where having breakfast several Cockatoos came up to our balcony for food and happily obliged.
Went for a drive along to Apolo Beach and Marina. Saw a Koala on the way smiling down on uses well as many pretty birds.
Walked along the harbour arm where families where fishing.then as we were going back to the centre strip of shops. Elli spied a Farmers Market, not as good as in Port Fairy but brought some nice bread and I sampled the local wines.
Then went for coffee sat on the nice seafront green. Klara is fascinated by everything,cars, people other dogs,which there where many, and is finding hard to know which way to turn!
The view from our cottage!
We went back to our Beach cottage for lunch, then back down the beach. I stayed for a couple of hours with my book giving M & E some time on their own. Getting back Mick thrashed me at Canasta and after dinner Elli did the same. Run of bad luck.
Monday. 19th
What a nice surprise as we where having breakfast when Elli looked up to see a Koala sitting on the tree opposite.
We left for our journey home about 9.30 stopping at a cafe called 'La Hoot ' great coffee and pictures of owls everywhere. Arrived back about 2pm washing on. Elli is having trouble with her new internet which is disappointing for her.
