Stayed 7 nights at The Solar House - an "off the grid" 17 acre property at Little River (halfway between Melbourne and Geelong). Once again the only ones here and a 39 minute train trip in to Melbourne.
Little River (after which the Little River Band is named) is a very small town at the foot of the You Yangs mountain ranges where we did a few walking trails that offered fantastic views to Melbourne and Geelong.
Spent a few days in Melbourne and checked out the Melbourne Museum, Old Melbourne Gaol and Watchouse, Victorian State Library, Police Museum, Southbank, Crown Casino Complex and went to an AFL game at the MCG.
We also visited Geelong, Portarlington, Queenscliff, and explored the eastern end of the Great Ocean Road including Torquay, Angelsea and Lorne.
Great to catch up with Jane and Ian again as they too stayed at The Solar House on their travels. Hopefully our paths will cross again as we both head towards South Australia.
