Kennett River,Cape Otway & Apollo Bay

Koala Cove cafe, Kennett River was our first stop this morning. Aptly named, there was an abundance of  koalas & parrots & yet again I seem to be rather popular with the birds!
They like to keep abreast of things !!!!


Thanks for the recommendation L & B, think this was were you camped - great spot.













We drove down the Grey River road, spotting koalas along the way, this one with her baby snuggled in.




A picnic amongst the tree ferns & eucalyptus - their scent filling the air.



    This is part of the Otway National Park.

We headed on to see the Cape Otway Lighthouse, only to find that they charged to visit it,(nearly £25 for the two of us ) which seems very unusual, from our experience so far. We haven't had to pay for any of the places we've been to or for parking along the way or in the towns. So we voted with our feet & didn't bother to go any further. To add insult to injury, the toilets left a lot to be desired - again this is the first time since we got here that somewhere has been less than pristine. The Australians know how to look after their beaches & places of interest, with everywhere neat & tidy, no litter, cig stubs or graffiti.  (  Rant over !!!  )


We drove back to Apollo Bay & consoled ourselves with a homemade icecream ( Yum ! ) & another afternoon chillin' on the beach.
