The crossing of Bass Strait was calm, thank goodness, and we arrived in Melbourne early, and headed west along the Great OceanRd, till we got to Martin and Annabel's at their Aire Valley Guest House andRestaurant.
Their steep gravel drive was too slippery for the car, and i got stuck so i had to walk up the hill, with Joey in tow, and martin went down and towed the camper up with his 4 wheel drive. We camped up behind the shearing sheds, near the chook house, with horse and Shetland pony around. They also have 2 dogs, 3 guinea pigs, and a rabbit, as well as 3 children. Katie is 10, curly red hair and long and tall like Martin and me. Eleanor is 8, dark hair like Annabel, gorgeous also, and then little James is nearly 4, curly fair hair, just a gorgeous kiddy. They climb trees, ;play with their guinea pigs,a real rural life style.
It was wonderful to see them all. The following day we went to Cape Otway, and on the way we drove slowly to see koalas in the trees. We were in Martin's Valiant convertible which was great for looking up at the koalas.
We then headed on to see the 12 Apostles - rocks jutting out of the sea, but not 12 any more, and now are at Port Fairy.
I will save this now and see how it goes, before writing more, and putting a photo on, as last time I wrote at length and it didn't save. Having trouble with emails also.
So here goes!

It posted through just fine Liz! Glad to hear you had a nice, calm crossing. Took a look at the website for Aire Valley, it looks just heavenly!
ReplyDeleteYour posting/save and not save etc. is most likely not something you are doing Liz, blogger can be a really big headache much of the time.
So glad your trip has gotten off to a great start!
