Day One Hundred and Sixty One

We up and away early and drove the remainder of the Great Ocean Road. We stopped at a number of places along the way including the 12 Apostles and London Bridge.

We also tried to visit Cape Otway Lighthouse but it was closed due to the filming of some movie but it was OK because they had knocked 3 dollars of the already 16 dollar price to walk up to the lighthouse as a result. Alas we didn't even get the chance to pay the 50 bucks to climb the lighthouse. A bargain at twice the price, not, needless to say we were not too worried to be saving 54 dollars and not walking to somewhere 100m from the lighthouse.

One bonus of driving out to the lighthouse was the chance encounter the wildlife, as you can see from the pics below we got lucky!

As we ended the GOR, we then drove back to Melbourne, a long drive across the plains, we made good time and got into Melbourne about 6. We stayed in Carlton, near where I worked at Oxfam.

Had a superb Italian meal nearby, again a recommendation from the Stewards Restaurant Blog Australia 2009
