Desperate to eek out the last of the good weather, we headed off to Lorne on the Ocean Road for a spot of family camping over the Easter long weekend. The campsites were busy but we managed to get a pitch overlooking the ocean and drifted off to sleep to the sound of the roaring waves (and the blokes next door coming back from the pub.) All worth it in the morning when our kids got revenge and we got to watch the sunrise over the waves without leaving the tent.
An absolutely splendid time was had by all. Mum and Dad enjoyed a spot of boogie boarding on the big waves, Thea made an Easter Garden out of sand, and Dulcie threw herself headlong into the surf on numerous occasions. (Our kids are worryingly not showing the ocean the respect it deserves.) Lorne was great for coffee shops, kids trampolines, fish & chips...
One day we headed off to Kennett River to see the koalas: there are hundreds of them who live in the trees just by the beach and they're pretty easy to spot. They don't move all that fast! The beach there has some wonderful rock pools, so Thea, Dulcie & I played mermaid houses while Daddy rode the surf.
