Sunday, November 24

Today we walked the 2km from Appollo Bay to Marengo, where there is an airstrip.  And for the small amount of $300... each... you could take a one hour sightseeing flight in a LOW WING Cessna.  Don't know how much sights you'd see with that wing in the way.  We talked to the young pilot for a bit, just about general aviation and stuff like that.  We  walked to the airstrip along the Great Ocean Walk, which you could walk for 8 days or so.  On the  way back, we walked along the beach, and saw a baby seal lounging on the rocks. Apparently, seals are not so common here, because the two seal colonies we have come across have been specifically mentioned.

We got back Appollo Bay sometime after 2pm, and had a deep fried lunch of fish and chips and some other things... in the park, where the little seaguls were quite interested!

I'm starting to get a cold or something.  We came back to the hostel to shower and nap.  Drew was down the hall when two black cockatoos came and landed in the tree outside the window.  Drew and I went outside to get a better look, but a little bird came and scared them away.  They are huge birds, with red rings around their eyes. Very big!!
