To Apollo Bay

Quite a long drive back along the Coast Road further east of Johanna for some intended R&R in the small resort town of Apollo Bay, which was indeed a little "resorty" and our apartment whilst technically overlooking the sea was bit naff. The place was initially quieter than we had expected but it livened up when a large funfair for their annual carnival opened up the following night and it was noisy in the early evening from there and the adjoining " party " apartment but quiet by 11pm.

we did not go on this...
We just enjoyed the beach, swimming and bodyboarding, relaxed, BBQ'd  on our balcony, planned Tasmania, and slept!. Good, simple restaurants and music bars kept us entertained. Plans to kayak to some seals, beach pilates and snorkelling all came to naught for one reason for another.

A gorgeous beach along the bay, which we walked and walked.
We did manage to leave the seaside for a Koala hunt : we had yet to see one and were feeling deprived. We enjoyed the drive up the coast to Lorne, then turned up inland in to the hills  where we had read that koalas resided and whilst the drive and walk were very pleasant not a koala was to be found : till we returned towards the "Kaola Cafe" where. a short distance away we found a single koala and lots of tourists with cameras.
