The Great Ocean Road to Johanna Beach camp (6th and 7th December, 2011)

We joined the dots up on the Great Ocean Road calling in at the Bay of Islands, Bay of Martyrs, the Grotto and of course paying homage to the Twelve Apostles again. All features of the spectacular limestone coastline along the Great Ocean Road. We then headed to Johanna Beach camp ground nestled in the sand dunes for a couple of nights. Two beautiful warm sunny days spent on an unspoilt beach. Paul and Arch fished, and Paul caught three big salmon which we all had for lunch. Gary did some surfing although it was reportedly not decent surf as wind in wrong direction but he did some pretty nifty moves from where we were standing.
We decided that we would open the Secret Santa presents on our first night at Johanna as the lads could contain their excitement no longer! Gary had bought Wooz a remote controlled battery operated red ferrari and by coincidence Paul had bought Nathaniel a remote controlled battery operated red porsche (from Cars 2) – both had independently negotiated a good deal from the lady in the same gift shop so she must have been a few dollars down that day! The lads were made up and of course spent every opportunity whizzing their cars over any hard surface they could find which was difficult as we were surrounded by grass and sand! Kirsty had bought Archer a picture frame with photo to remind them of their trip to Byron Bay plus a big fake moustache! Archer bought his dad sweets and nodding gnome for the car. Nathaniel got Paul another nodding gnome, wine cooler and purple dog. I bought Kirsty a very tasteful new mug (as hers was literally on its last legs and had started leaking) and golf tees and golf ball. And lastly poor Wooz had picked out to buy for me but came up trumps with Bridget Jones knickers, a vase and koalas in snow storm shaker. A fun evening had by all!
