Date: 4th April – 9th of April
Thursday
Today we will start driving the infamous “great ocean road”. This is probably the most well-known road here in Australia, which does result having a “look out” or viewing point about every kilometre J . For some reason there is a good representation of the Asians and the French. We are starting to see a fair bit more backpackers as well. We even saw 3 more Spacecars, but we were very disappointed that one of the space cars was actually called “the flying Dutchmen”. Needless to say we really wanted that one ;)
We did give in to stopping at a few viewpoints ( hey we are tourists after all) and we were not surprised to see that the view was stunning.
We had lunch on the beach after which we continued our drive to the 12 apostles another very famous spot along the great ocean road. We arrived at the end of the day and the light was spectacular, however a bit foggy. It is a shame that these “rocks” might not be here anymore in a couple of decades. Hey it is all in the hands of nature. The force of the ocean is actually breaking them down. The last to go down was in 2005, not too long ago.
In the evening we found a free camping spot near a popular surfing beach in Johana. We did notice that we see a fair bit more rednecks ( aso typetjes voor de nederlanders)in this area. We already got a middle finger ( he wanted to point out that we were not welcome to camp next to him), and Maaike was cursed away from a wave whilst body-boarding the next day. However they can be very nice as well. When we stopped to unpack at a very full campsite the toothless father of the family next to us, who had just walked his rat euh dog, advised us to go a bit further as there were some nicer spots there. If he knew this earlier he would have ( these were his words) “taken me misses and me kids “ to that spot. Do I hear the English accent creeping through?? We were actually not very sad to leave that spot as were facing their compost loo and the fumes of the generator.... not very romantic right mate? In the evening we had wine and local cheese for dinner...hmmm lovely!
