Waiting for a platypus!!!
It is so peaceful here, the wind has finally settled down but still overcast. Today we ventured up to the Otway Tree Top Fly. It is a 600 metre long walkway, 25 metres above the forest floor, made from over 120 tonnes of steel. It was a different way of enjoying the surroundings. Brett, Katelyn and I climbed to the top over the spiral tower which is 47m above the forest floor, Ben & Matt decided to stay on the walkway. Highly recommend visiting this if you come down this way.
From the Fly we walked to the Triplet Falls a 1hour return walk. A few metres in and the steps started, all I could think was what goes down must come up! But to our relief once we reached the beautiful falls the walk back was via a different route, a lot less stairs, phew!! With the high rain fall we have had in the area the falls were flowing fast and were well worth the walk to see them.
To the boys disappointment fish & chips were not had for lunch, we enjoyed lunch at home and so salad was on the menu for me. Matt went for a run up Red Johanna Road to the junction of the Great Ocean Road, roughly 9klm, half of which was up hill. I walked Finnegan down to the top of the beach, we were suppose to go along beach but he made a friend and decided playing with her was way more fun. So I chatted to the other dogs’ owners and wondered back to our cottages. The kids have just walked down to the pool so I don’t know when I will see them again; they were gone for over 3 hours the last time they went.
Brett & I are hoping to do a section of Great Ocean Walk tomorrow, haven’t been able to date due to strong winds, so let’s wait and see what tomorrow brings.
Brooke finally delivered Uriah, nearly 10 pound!!! And 56cm long.... a little over cooked. Both are doing well and I have seen photos already and he looks just like his older brother Taj.
I haven’t slept this great in ages..... First thing we must do when we get home is purchase a new mattress!!
Well lets just say "Platypus hunting sux!"
