Day 76 - Kennett River

On the road again.  First stop - Bell's Beach to have a look at the surf.  It was freezing!!!  Needless to say, a very short stop.  Then a very slow journey along the Great Ocean Road.  Absolutely beautiful, but very slow.  Lots of steep, windy roads that I don't like at all.  We stopped at Split Point and climbed the lighthouse (it's the one they used in filming 'Round the Twist').  56km p/h winds at the top and they were icy!! Great view though. 


Split Point
 Went for a walk down the beach and saw a baby seal which was really cool. 

Staying at a caravan park in Kennett River tonight. 

Went for a walk around our caravan park and saw 7 koalas - it is soooo cool to see them in the wild.  After dinner we drove up in to the national park to see the glow worms.  On the way we had to stop for a koala crossing the road!!!! Can you belive it??  Was the most amazing thing ever!  We got out the car and it came even closer to us.  It was awesome!!

 Kept going to do the forest walk to see the glow worms.  It took us a while to find it in the dark....and it was pitch black, and cold, and a little scary in the middle of the forest I have to admit.    But once we found them, the glow worms were pretty cool too.

The kids with a glow worm!
