Up bright and early today (much to my disgust)

Yesterday we had been told about Agnes Falls which were apparently quite beautiful and “just up the road” about 30kms later we had found the falls.

Although the falls were nice the presence of cement in the falls made it a little less special for us. Jason managed to take some very flattering photos though, and it wasn’t a total bust….there were more look outs near the falls, but due to the presence of some fairy dodgy looking back packers loitering near the bike we cut out loses and revved off….

Agnes Falls

The stretch though Foster and Leongatha was stunning, smooth empty sweeping roads and fantastic scenery.

We stopped of for breakfast in Leongatha and had I experienced my first ever chilli hot chocolate….very unusual.

We started to get closer to Melbourne and the traffic and idiots on the road increased tenfold, however the ferry was well signposted and we made our way to Sorrento and onto the Queenscliffe ferry in no time.

The Queenscliff Ferry

The ferry offers storage space for cars, bikes and caravans as well as some light refreshments and coffee….

I must warm you that the coffee was so bad I have no doubt it would be able to be used quite easily as paint stripper, or some industrial insecticide, after one sip it got binned.

The highlight of the ferry trip was a pod of dolphins playing along side the boat for about 15 minutes, this included an extremely cute baby dolphin who was getting some serious air time while leaping though the water.

We fought our way though traffic to Anglesea, and found our accommodation herby known as the “seediest room in history” and went for a closer look around Anglesea.

After trying to see if the town had any attractions, and being directed by locals to “check out the Roos grazing on the golf course” we ran screaming from that town to see if there was anything else around.

We headed to Road Knight Point, where we could make out lighthouse a bit further down the road, we revved up to road to discover a stunning little lighthouse near Aireys Inlet called The Split Lighthouse, there were several lookouts which afforded us with some stunning views and mini apostle.

A quick ride back, an overpriced salad and back to the “seediest room in history” to wake up early and get the f#$k outta dodge ready for the next stretch.
