Geelong

Today we drove from Gundagai to Geelong. 920 odd kilometres since we left home and we come across our third set of traffic lights in Geelong!
Arriving in Geelong at 2:30pm we needed to kill time until 9:30pm to board the Spirit of Tasmania - which was late coming into port. We’re expected to board at 11pm.
We spent the afternoon along the waterfront, which has some curious art installations.
We had a late lunch at a cafe where nearby a helicopter did 4 minute joy flights for $95. The sweet potato fries were great but was nothing compared to Fiona’s cupcake.
A walk up and down the wharf before we decided for an early dinner. Not being too hungry we decided on a Mexican restaurant where the paella wasn’t too bad.
With little else to do we headed to the wharf early to line up for the Spirit of Tasmania - it seems that everyone else was keen too!
We boarded just before 11pm but it wasn’t until after midnight we set sail as we stood outside on the deck with a drink to toast the start of the Tassy adventure!Read more
