Overcast weather continued during our journey this morning, never the less we still enjoyed the picture postcard scenery. A slow drive at 40kl most of the way with plenty of parking bays to slip into to take in the view or to allow faster traffic pass by. From Apollo Bay the road heads into tall timbers and rain forests, also picturesque.
Slingshot ran out of gas, so off to the next nearest garage, people are so helpful just when you need it most, a fellow popped out of the blue to offer assistance in replacing the new gas cylinder.
Assistance gratefully accepted with a smile and warm hearted thank you.
Stopping at Lavers Hill after a very long haul up, I decided to top up my petrol tank. A bit thirsty asking of $1.79 per ltr so filled just half a tank. Whether its as dear further along, I do not know?
We were making for Princetown Recreation Reserve and arrived at lunch time, missing lunch altogether as we busily set up our camp for the next 2 nights. Happily paying $10 per night (no power) and looking forward to settling back with a good book for a few hours after the sun finally appeared. This is bliss.....
As I stated, it is a long weekend here in Victoria but you could not imagine how many caravan/campers and backpackers are here before us. Its a really big spacious area so no real problem finding a spot, we parked near a clump of bushes that divides the area. I actually reversed the caravan on a right angle right where I wanted it. Gave myself a high five for that one. Just one little scratch on the car where the metal box met the bumper bar.
