April 20th - Easter Sunday!

After a wonderful nights sleep, which was extraordinary having changed +15 hours!  John had found some walks near St. Leonard's.  this was great because it took us off the Beaten Track.  On the way we saw some very cool birds including black swans and others we haven't identified as of yet :-).

We got some great surf shots where just the locals were enjoying the day.  We transited through Torquay, a town made famous by the movie Point Break where Boody surfs off into the 100 year storm and meets his maker. 

Before we knew it, we had made it to the Great Ocean Road; one of the must see's in Australia.  Having been on it, we now understand why!  The ocean is big and spectacular with tons of surfers and waves!  The surf is green and the rocks are limestone and carved into all different arches and formations.  Something you just don't get tired of looking at!

We saw our first kangaroo!  They are nocturnal and come out around 4:30 to 5 PM.  This one was dining on someone's lawn!

We pulled onto Lorne at 5:30 on time for our 6 PM Easter dinner reservations at Maple Tree.  Fever tree, Hendricks and cucumbers were on their menu....yum!  Cheri had local prawns, sea trout and barramundi over linguini. John had lamb.  It was yummy!


















Enjoy!
