Our first stop along the Great Ocean Road was at Apollo Bay. My plan was to use our stop here to visit the Otways National Park, but we had picked up an illness, and needed a rest stop. We stayed in a cabin at the Apollo Bay Pisces Big 4 Holiday Park. As was the… Continue reading Apollo Bay
After a few nights in Melbourne, we set off for our trip to the Great Ocean Road.
