Well, we spent 2 nights at Phillip Island and suddenly all
these motor bikes started turning up, we thought what there was a bikie
convention on or something, we were close, we forgot about the motor bike GP that
was on at Phillip Island this weekend.
Time for plan B try to get into Wonthaggi, nope no luck
booked out due to Motorcycle GP, alright plan C Inverloch, guess what also
booked out, what do we do now as we are
not booked into Wilson Prom until Sunday. So off we go and took a punt, on a caravan park at a
place called Sandy Point, talk about reminiscing David, Diane, Garry and
Sharron would all relate to this place, it was like living our surfing days
over, with some of the caravan parks that we stayed at even the colour scheme
was the same.
Having said this the beach at Sandy Bay is beautiful and
reminds me a lot of the Ocean Grove beach even the breaks which were not large
were even and consistent, and the beach seemed to go on forever. If you are
ever down this way you really should take the time to visit Sandy Bay, but be
prepared it is like opening the pages of a seventies commercial.
We spent the day having a look around the area including
Shallow Inlet, and then walking up the beautiful beach.
Forget the mobile phone and wireless internet service there is virtually none, reminds me a lot of Pritchards.
The wind was again blowing a gale and as a precaution we did
not lift the roof of the van, and the wind blew with vigour and the van rocked
and shook all night (from the wind nothing else).
Today is still windy and we are going a bit further east,
lets see where we end up this time.
The main beach at Sandy Point looking west.
Rob said it was cold I was wearing shorts and t-shirt.
This is the beach at Shallow Inlet, looking south you can drive for a couple of km's up the beach but the walk is better.
The main entrance.
