Road Trip: Lorne to Johanna Beach

May 11 - Left Lorne in the direction of Apollo Bay, we pulled up at guess what...another tourist information center, again the girl was really helpfull and she even helped us plan the next leg of our journey to some degree. Me and Adam headed into the town cneter grabbin some chips from a local shop, the guy was an absolute plank, dnt even think he'd ever worked in a fish and chip shop, he looked at me gone out when i asked for salt and viniger, anyway by the by, caught up with the other at the laundrymat and Mike had just brought a new hat for 30bucks, and he lost it from the shop to the laundry, so he reluctantly went back and brought another one after he cudnt find it. We decided to 0121 out of Apollo Bay and head into the Otway National Park (The Great Ocean road actually goes straight through it but we went in deeper is what i mean, this is also were the great ocean road no longer has the great ocean feel to it, as its all mainland roads). First Stop Triplet falls, it is a wide triple cascading fall in the middle of the rainforest, we took the 40min 900 meter walk (by accident i might add), really picturesque, one of the most stunning waterfalls I have seen in Australia. We then drove to the Otway Fly Tree Top Walk otherwise known as the biggest waste of money EVER!!! Me, Paul and Mike all paid to go in, however, Wayne and Adam snook by the entrance and in unnoticed (lucky bastards...$17 better off) we begun the trial round and we knew it was going to go down hill from the first attraction...The Old Stump, this was a 60 year old tree stump that had been cut down, we all laughed and thought ok we'll give it another chance, attraction 2...The Window of Time, to the untrained eye just a bunch of sparadically placed trees, apparently we were supposed to be seein how the landscape had evolved over the past soooo many years....I sharnt go on, its trying my patience typing this now Just be warned anyone who is tempted to visit this appealing attraction should take 20 bucks from your wallet on a windy day, let go of and chase it down the street, you'd be far more entertained!!!) Although the walk has 1 small thing to offer, after we had finished the walk we waited at the bottom of the track for transport provided for immobile people...a golf buggy, excellent fun, the guy didnt hang about tearin along the track. We then drove to Johanna Beach via Blue Johanna Road, another terribley bumpy track, but really nice campsite, visited the beach, again, really ruff, but one of the nicest beaches we've been to on the coast. Got gooned up again before getting a one way ticket to snoozeville.
