After the rude 5am awakening on the Ferry, we had to make our way to Bellarine. Well, thank God for Sheila (our delightful Navman female Australian voice who tells us where to go). She saved us a great deal of stress and will probably save our marriage in the long run.
The Bellarine Big 4 Caravan Park is new, having only opened in November last year. It is very pleasant and the boys are particularly impressed with the range of facilities that cater to children. Amongst these are an indoor heated swimming pool, two jumping pillows, various climbing equipment, a complimentary cinema, a playhouse (for the little ones) and lots of games equipment. The amenities are also pretty good and I have had less need to be thankful for the caravan loo.
Our first day was spent mostly setting up and getting organised. Finding a decent supermarket and stocking up on the perishables that we couldn't bring with us. We had a little drive around in the process.
Bob and Audrey Partridge invited us over for a BBQ and it was pleasant to catch up with them again. They seem to have settled down really well and are enjoying their retirement, though they both say they are busier than ever. They are both planning to do volunteer work at schools that are disadvantaged this year.
We were all fairly 'finished' by the time we got home.
