Friday 25 January - Saturday 26 January 2013.

The next day we took in the sights of the Great Ocean Road.  It was extremely windy and cold and I am surprised we didn't get blown off the cliff.  The first thing that Lachlan said when he saw the Twelve Apostles was "I remember these, Ms Coutts taught me about them at school".  It was great for him to see something in real life that he had learnt about.




 
 
 

Our next stop was the Arch;
 
 
 
then we headed to London Bridge where kids learnt that when "London Bridge" was originally crumbling two people got stranded on the bridge and had to be rescued by helicopter.
 
Afterwards we made our way to Warrnambool where Craig's cousin Mary and her partner David were renovating an old pub into their new 'home away from home'.  The pub was featured in a movie called "Charlie and Boots" which starred Paul Hogan and "Kenny" (better known as Shane Jacobson).  Mary and David had kindly let us stay there for there for the Australia Day long weekend.  That night the girls and kids left the boys at the RSL so they could watch the Federer v's Murray game.
 
The next day was Australia day so we headed to the park for a slap up BBQ.  Then we played the traditional game of cricket and had a swim at the beach.  While the kids played in the park the adults had a couple of rounds of the card game five hundred and to top off the day we took the kids to the fair, where the younger two loved the Magic Circus ride.
