Early start for breakfast, then a nice drive further along Great
Ocean Road to our first stop at the 12 Apostles. There was only ever
been 9 apostles however there are now 8. The name was deemed a fitting reflecting the biblical reference to 12 Apostles. Several of the touring party took a helicopter flight over the
Apostles which was spectacular. We created a bit of a spectacle in the car park. Due to delays in organising the flight it became a rushed trip to get to Portland.
Getting late we had a very quick lunch (sandwiches in the carpark) on the run from Allansford Cheese Factory, a quick stop for fuel in Warnambool. The Todd’s
Speed 20 special had a front brake lock on for some reason which delayed us a
bit but we eventually made Portland by about 5pm.
Very nice dinner at the Hotel where Dales sister Robyn and family had arranged (after a few miss-directions) to meet us for dinner.
