Melbourne tomorrow!
(Preview)
We decided to leave Johanna Beach a day early, so we're now in Anglesea. I've talked to Wendyv last night, and suggested if there are others around Melbourne who'd like to get together for a cuppa, I'd love to do that. We plan to base ourselves at Akoona Park at Berwick for several days, doing day trips...

Gday... Last night at Dululu for the night - not too bad - seen worse. No internet/mobile but only four of us there.

Lack of Public Dump Points
(Preview)
What do people do for a dump point when camped in The Otways area? We were at Johanna Beach Campground for 6 nights, doing day trips all over the area, and there was nowhere to dump our porta loos.

Even though Victoria turned the heater up to 30 degrees today, it was perfect weather for photography. After 17 degrees yesterday, it was a bit of a shock to the system. We've now stopped at Princetown Reserve...showers, toilets, power, $15 p/n for me as a single. Not bad at all. We'll stay 2 nights, so...
