Forests!

Woke up nice and late in our little hostel in Apollo Bay and headed out to our first stop, Maits Rest.

An insane little cool-climate rainforest buried on the eat coast. It was funny because most of the group had never seen a rainforest before we were likening it to walking through centre parks! I was trying so hard not to laugh as it was so serenely quiet. I did not succeed.

Perhaps it was I'm laughing that scared all the Koalas away. Despite it supposedly being a hotspot for them, we couldn't spot a signal one. But it was still worth track up the hill.

The landscape here changes so often it is astonishing. One minute we are driving through forests and up mountains, the next we are back down on the beach with the bluest waters.

We ended up having to do a little pit stop for fuel and were so confused why the signs led us to a little shop and not a petrol station. That was until we spotted this tiny little fuel pump directly outside. It was the cutest thing ever, but also one of the most expensive. Fuel in Aussie seems to be ranging between $170.9 and $209.9, that one was $232.9!! But side effect of being the only fuel spot for an hour.

We stopped for our little picnic lunch at a wetlands. Lots of marsh and pretty long grasses. Before hopping back in the car for the beginning our rock trip.Read more
