Tuesday 9 October 2007. Day 50. Campervan – Torquay Holiday Resort – Torquay – Great Ocean Road.



Up at 8am after a lovely toasty nights sleep due to the new queen sized bargain duvet (a tenner) from K Mart.

Lou forgot to take towel for a shower, not realising until she got out, which was nice, and then we set off to the Queenscliffe ferry an hour or so away.

The 45 minute journey took us across to Sorrento, cutting a large chuck of driving out of our journey, and from there, we headed to Mornington and stopped for lunch.

Had delicious lunch at the Pure and Natural café – chicken satay and Moroccan chicken, stocked up on food at Coles, and Lou got some new sunglasses to replace the ones she seems to have lost up the Great Ocean Road.

We set off towards Phillip Island, arriving a couple of hours later, and passing the Phillip Island Eco Resort (a collection in tin shacks) on the way.

Looked at some caravan parks and chose a nice one 1km from town and got a pitch right on the beach which was great (see photo).

Unpacked and walked along the beach into town, which didn’t take long, where Ieuan purused motoGP souvenirs. We then ate at an Italian place, where the food was perhaps less than ok, although it didn’t lack custom as hoardes of people seemed to be coming in off of coaches stopping nearby. We walked back to the van along the road, which seemed to take forever compared to the beach route.
