Ocean Grove

B and J very kindly allowed us to park up in their driveway and stay for as long as we want.  We have used a lot of our time here simply for relaxing and doing some caravan maintenance and alterations.  We have made changes to gas bottle storage, made curtains for the kids bunks, done another clear and cull etc etc.

We have also had some adventures while staying here too.  We headed out one day for some 4wd'ing and a BBQ lunch in the national park.  We were amazed at the availability of places to go and do that sort of thing.  We had a ball driving through puddles and mud, up and down hills and through the sand.  We finished the day with ice creams in Anglesea.  A great day had by all.

R and I took the kids for our promised day trip back to Lorne.  We had lunch in the park and were mobbed by some very friendly cockatoos who wanted to share.  E and I both had several of them on our shoulders taking food from us!!  After lunch we drove out to Erskine Falls. Wow! What a beautiful spot - again!  We took ourselves down the 250 stairs to the bottom of the falls and found it was so worth the walk.  We spent a good bit of time playing around on the rocks and trees playing explorers and had a ball, until we looked at the staircase we had to climb again to get back out.  Ugh!  E decided to show us just how fit she is and ran the whole way up!!  On the way home we made a stop at Bells Beach to check out the surfies and the waves, and the kids were happy to have a run on the beach and tell us all about the strange, really coarse sand.
