Gday... Last night at Dululu for the night - not too bad - seen worse. No internet/mobile but only four of us there. Tonight at Theodore Junction Park - only one other camper - mobile/internet and HOT showers - not a very big area but better than van parks. I would not like to be in either in the 'peak season...

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. There are only portable toilets at the beach itself, so no dumping there. We carted them all over the mountain...

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...

Thanks to John, Heather, Rod, Norma, Michael, and Tess.I must admit we are now thinking about things differently to when we left Melbourne. We left with a very theore...
