Mon, 28th of Feb - Portland

Packed up and drove along the Great Ocean Road, sightseeing along the way.  This is the third time we have travelled this road and the first time that it hasn't been blowing a gale and cold.

We arrived at around 5pm at another really good free overnight camp called 'Sawpit', quite close to Portland.  Shortly after arriving we were approached by a very young lady wanting to know if we had a foot pump.  It seems that she and her young male friend bought a blow-up mattress earlier in the day only to find that it did not come with a pump.  The two were from Belgium and were travelling from Sydney to Perth in a station wagon with only a tent for shelter.  They will be in Australia for around 6 months.  You have to admire their 'get up and go' for such a young age.

Anyway, after much mucking around with nozzles on our compressor we managed to get their bed blown up for them.

We have stayed here at Sawpit a couple of times before and this time was no different in that it rained most of the night.  The sound of water drops on the roof blown from high in the trees can be quite noisy.
