BARWON PARK - INTERNET PHOTO |
SUN 26 - TUES 28.4.2015: Spent Sunday evening at Leigh River free camp 1km east of Inverleigh (population 715). We headed for Lorne and on our way passed Barwon Park which was built by Thomas Austin, and completed in 1871. A historic building which has had much restoration work and is unfortunately only open on a Wednesday and Sunday. There are 42 rooms furnished as originally as possible.
Visited the Lorne Information Centre so the Great Ocean Road sight seeing and accommodation could be planned. Walked out with copious information and began the journey to our overnight stay at Sharps Track - down winding narrow tracks and uneven roads till we finally hit our paradise then we saw the dreaded sign "NO DOGS ALLOWED". Crawled back out to the main road and headed for Skenes Creek Beachfront Caravan Park. This park is much cheaper than the others so we will use it as a base for our sight seeing - that is if the weather can oblige! Good news - we finally made it to the Great Ocean Road!
