Lorne to lakes Entrance

Ferry Terminal



Tyre shop that fixed the tyre for free, gave him a Around Australia Cap and lot of thanks.



Adam , one of the riders who was on KTM (one of the Adventure Twins) and had a bad spill, a few broken ribs etc.



General ferry shot.

Only 445kms, but I had to find a tyre shop to fix a flat tyre on the van. On the way we called in and saw Mark and Cate Hunter from Spot On Lasers, who made B and D coffee. After a short chat Cate took me to the tyre shop at Drysdale where they fixed the tyre for free after he saw the stickers on the van and I explained what we were doing. Many thanks Dale. After that I made my way to the Queenscliff to Sorrento Ferry, only to find out that I had missed the 10 o'clock ferry that most of the Riders had caught. Time to kill an hour. Got of the ferry and took the scenic route around the coast then up to the freeway and on to Lakes Entrance.
Was a long day and didn't get to take any shots of Lakes Entrance, which is a pity because it is a very picturesque place.
On arrival to Lakes Entrance everyone had come to the realisation that this was the last night. With a bit of a fancy dress organised for dinner it was time to catch up with the riders who were camping and normally stayed apart from us.
They are really nice people.
D & B ~ Hard to believe that 70 people from all walks of life can get on so well, none of us wanted the adventure to end. We hope to renew these friendships in the future.
The riders had an eventful day with the GPS, after missing a turn the recalculation took us on a dirt road ( Donna's favourite) and had us bamboozled for a short time.
We ended up in Koo-wee-rup at a organic cafe for lunch & right across the road was an op shop for our evenings attire, 3 outfits for $9 what a bargain!
After deciding that our time for sight seeing was fast running out we made a move to get to Lakes Entrance by a more direct route and headed up to the Princess FWY. Once on the freeway and keeping a steady pace we came over a rise to see a familiar white van ahead of us in the distance, even though he was on the ferry an hour after us. It never ceased to suprise us that no matter what time we left that van would always catch us.
