Finished the Great Ocean Road

Today was our last day with the camper and so our last day on the Great Ocean Road. Last night we had already started heading back towards Melbourne so we wouldn't have such a mammoth drive today. On our way back, we visited some of the sights we skipped on way down such as Erskine Falls.

Erskine Falls is a thirty metre high waterfall near the small town of Lorne, which we chose to be our base for the night as it is only around 120kms from Melbourne. It was raining all day, so there wasn't much else enjoyable to do other than have an explore or the Otway National Park rainforest. We're both glad we visited the falls though, as most of the others we went to had lookouts near the middle that were not great for viewing (or photography), whereas at Erskine we could get right to the bottom of it. There was even a walk down the river leading away from the waterfall, which we decided against based on the sign warning us of snakes and another saying 'Experienced bush walkers only'.



So we got back to Melbourne early afternoon and made our way to the hotel; which was a bit of a mission and included a bus, train and a tram! I'm starting to get seriously excited for the Formula One now, our hotel is 7kms away from the race circuit but we could still hear them practising.
