LORNE

As we head along the coast we approach our destination of Lorne

About 10kms out of Lorne was a beautiful camp called Hill Top camp site

So at our campsite we met this fury little local......

He seemed to not be bothered about anything or anyone...

He seemed to know when it was about to rain and would hide in his cubby hole in the forest before it would start.  When the rain stopped he would come out and climb back up his favorite gum tree.

I'm outa here!

Meh, what you looking at eh?

Quite the message from one of the very high lookouts!  If only Anna was called Karen and it was Karen's birthday I would be in the good books eh!....:)

 

Not far from Lorne was a beautiful walk in the Erskine water falls in the Ottway National Park

 Beautiful and lush at the bottom of the walk

Hello...

We head north of Lorne on our way to the surf break of Bell's Beach.  I have always had a fascination with light houses.  I would love to have worked at a light house in the old days but I think they are all automated these days so I may have missed the boat eh!

Some of the surf at Bell's 

 Some of the houses on the way up to Torquay were absolutely astonishing.  This one had a sky walk from the main house to an apartment or some other living quarters.

We returned to our campsite at Lorne with the clouds and fog rolling in.....

Ello, ello, ello wha av we ear govner??

and after a very nice stay it was time to say goodbye to Lorne and head north inland towards the birthplace of John Flynn, the founder of the Flying Doctor Service.
