To Apollo Bay and beyond

The wind picked up so much overnight, part of our tropical fly cover strap tore away from the stitching, it was pretty chaotic. We had plans to have a sleep in and take our time, but we just wanted the camper packed down incase a pole went through the canvas somewhere. Once packed up, we headed for Apollo Bay. On the way we saw the Cape Otway lighthouse sign, 12 kms out, and since we'd left early we headed in. Came across a car with their hazards on and thought they might’ve needed a hand, but no, there was a koala wandering across the road, very cool to see. We got to the lighthouse and noticed that it's gated, we were half an hour too early, go figure. We could see another sign saying they weren't doing lighthouse tours at the moment anyway due to the earthquake and aftershocks that kept coming through. Back in the car to Apollo Bay where we went for a wander down the main street, grabbed a coffee, had a shop, and a feed from the bakery. We moved the car and popped into The Brewhouse, the southernmost mainland pub. Apparently at times they have paw-secco or a paw-ale, none today though, which is fine because Pup probably just would have sighed at it.Read more
