    Bay of Fires. What a van spot.

    March 6, 2020 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    Woke up to glorious sunshine right on the beach. Such a change from yesterday. I got into the swimmer and went for a dip straight into the dumping surf. There is my wash done for a few days 😃.
    We drove up and down the coast a bit, finding some great views and doing some drone time on the beach.
    From there we headed to a dairy / ice cream farm for some cheese tasting and a lime sorbet. Great views down the valley with big trees and grass fields.
    Then we drove a short distance to St Columbia falls. A very impressive waterfall. I imagine the rain from yesterday helped.
    Then decided to head to Ben Lomond. A 1500m high peak which you can drive up to. They use it as a ski resort in winter. The top was freezing in the wind, but spectacular views. We stayed around as the sun went down. Then drove back down the steep twisty road to the campsite 15mins down.
    Going to be a cold night, so I boiled up some water, put it into some bottles and put socks over the top. Instant hot water bottles. Toasty toasty.
