Day 2, - Apollo Bay Auto Care, GOR & Port Fairy

After staying our first night in the luxurious confines on Trev the Triton, we packed up camp and headed of along the GOR (Great Ocean Rd), not long in to the trip we experienced our first (and hopefully our last) mechanical issue. Been the astute mechanically minded person and the experience of owning an number of bombs in my past i tried to treat this in the good old fashioned way, turn up the radio....did not quite work as planned for a number of reason, only one speaker worked and the reception was terrible. After a quick inspection under the bonnet, the problem was located, a loose belt (only the air con one). A quick lap around Apollo Bay until we spotted the RACV tow truck, then off to the workshop. 15 minutes later we were back on the road. 13 11 11 to the rescue, yes dad the RACQ is working well. I also know what size socket I need for tightening in the future, (14mm).


Next stop was !2 Apostles, did the tourist thing, took a couple of pics and then moved on. Quick stop at the Warrnabool Cheese Factory, few more essentials from woolies and off to Port Fairy for the night. Most importantly on the way in to PF, did a quick reccie on the Port Fair Golf Links, looks good so tomorrow morning is all scheduled (Cindy will have to caddie). We set camp in the Garden Caravan Park, on the river across from town. Nice place and there is no one around. We walked in to town where I have promised to take Cindy to the seafood restaurant  heard good reports before coming to town but all the locals we asked were not so keen. Lucky, when we got there the place was closed, headed up the street and ended up at a nice place called The Stag, food was great.

Anyway, until next time.......must rest, golf in the morning
