On the road...

Well we finally got to the big island! After a fairly uneventful crossing on the Spirit we drove off the boat and within 300 metres I had us heading in the wrong direction. A quick u-turn tho and we were underway. After a little look around Bells Beach, we spent a fairly wet first night at Johanna Beach. It wasn't a terrible spot although we didn't have the place to ourselves. Probably something we'll have to get used to. Next morning we decided to head further south. After stopping to appreciate Clifton's Steps, the 12 Apostles and Bay of Islands we decided to head for Port Fairy where free camping appears to be non existent. And so we paid $33 for a small patch of grass conveniently located away from the grey nomads with there new cruisers and dirty great big caravans. I think we must look a little ferral in comparison! The next morning (today), and we're planning on heading to the Grampians where hopefully we'll be able to use the fishing licenses we picked up in Warnambool with help of an ace map drawn up by the chap at BCF just out of town. He had the map drawing skills of a pissed, illiterate aardvark. But it did help us find the right place so we're grateful all the same. Well it's time to hit the road again. Oh and Lulu is running like a dream!
