Meikles Adventure
Only got up at about 10am after going to bed so late. A late start but we decided we would head off to begin our trip properly today. After the girls had set up the train set and played a bit, breakfast of toast & coffee – we waved our goodbyes to Uncle Baden and Jill – thanks so much for the wonderful hospitality once again, its been too long! Hope to see you again real soon! Off towards Warrnambool at a rate of knots – late again 12:45 or so when we got out of there – oops!
A drive along the Great Ocean Rd – but not much stopping – such a gorgeous coastline – a couple of short stops, quick photo taking & onto Warrnambool.
At Warrnambool we had a couple of chores – collect my bank card at Westpac, Sach had to post the forms to try recover our deposit from the 1st trailer that Casuarina Campers look like they're not going to give back – *******s! Pick up another tarp and off we went… Really wanted to try see the whales but unfortunately we were so late and we forgot – getting very late by now.
Onto Port Fairy where we drove out to look at the water & off again. Missed the turnoff to Mt Eccles tho and after driving out of town a bit on A2 we found another rd to go up on – a bit of a dirt one & took awhile but eventually we got back en route to Mt Eccles…
Cold & Dark on Landing…
Arrived at camp site at about 6pm I think - very dark set up & it was absolutely freezing - lights went out about 5:00pm I think (in the world out here). We saw lots of possums though - Tenille loved it. Very dark & a bit of a long set up with a few cranky moments from most of us. I bit the dust over the sign next to our tent, my 2nd casualty for the trip – few grazes on the shins this time. Nice site though - but a bit quick staying to set this huge piece of canvas up every day - no thank u! Not too much more to do in cold & rain though - so off we headed the next day as planned.
