The last day of our trip started off with a 5 minute stroll across this gorgeous little bridge to a scrumptious breakfast in Lorne. Nothing like a good brekky to set you up for the day! Not that we're thinking about food all the time - just occasionally! Today was a day when we felt we had actually driven around the UK and parts of Europe, not Australia, as many of the places we p
assed had all too familiar names! Anglesea (spelt differently, but still reminded us of home!) and Torquay to name just a couple. Both of which were picture postcard seaside towns (just like Lorne) with sweeping bays, grassy hillsides and cute little bridges over rivers and creeks. Anglesea also boasted kangaroos hanging around the golf course on a regular basis! Think we arrived there a little late in the day though as the only one we saw was just lying in the shade under a tree (too far away to get a
photogra
ph unfortunately without stomping across the golf course which we couldn't do!) We hung around by the fences and kerb crawled in our car along the road for as long as we could without being arrested for stalking the golfers or loitering with intent(!) and then decided to give in gracefully! At Queenscliff we took the car ferry across the bay to Sorrento (the Italian leg of our drive!) and then headed up the coast toward our final stop in Elwood, just south of Melbourne where we are going to spend the next 10 days. Not having eaten since breakfast (yes thinking about food again!) we stopped in Frankston where I saw cafe selling portions of hot chips (small & regular sized). As we were planning on eating later I just ordered a small portion to keep us going until we reached Elwood. The photo shows why I was so glad I hadn't ordered a large one!! We arrived in Elwood (stuffed full of chips!) to a beautiful sunset - a fitting end to our trip along the Great Ocean Road!
