Day 160-164 Apollo Bay and Surrounds

We got to Apollo Bay and stayed in the Pieces Caravan Park. The wind was still to strong to even put out the awning. Met up with Kerry and Peter our neighbours on a wet and windy night. Turtle obliged with us all gathered round the table... we had also sprung a few leaks..most amusing!!
Apollo Bay is a lovely little village/town. It had many memories for Stephen, so we did a little memory lane driving and then some new adventures.
This is the tree walk just north of Apollo Bay. It is one of four in Australia...considering my vertigo I am pleased to say that I have now done 3 of the 4. The last is in Queensland, I believe, so we will put that one the list of things to do.
This one is for JJ...remember this from Tasmania....not quite so scary, no one bouncing the suspended arm and this one did not have a see through floor.
Now you may wonder why I have added a well light lighthouse. This is the Cape Otway Lighthouse. It is stuck out on a limb...check it out on the map...it is also the lighthouse that was used for the TV series Round the Twist as well as in one of the Mad Max movies. It is amazing what you find out when you look around!
