Mate, you're in Timboon, you've got the Great Ocean Road, Twelve Apostles and the Otways within cooee :D...BTW is Timboon ice-cream as good as I've heard? We have to go to Port Fairy for a wedding in a couple of weeks and I was planning a detour to Port Campbell to sample some, in a large way (cos if there's anything better than pancakes)...
Cheers,
Rus.

We are also handy to the lakes and craters country too but you can't tell me that all the spectacular stuff is near Timboon!
The icecream's ok.
The whales have left , won't see them again till next calving season (around June)

Cool. I won't kill myself getting to the ice cream bar, then.
Later,
Rus.

Sounds very interesting, but who or where does night time boat trips?
One thing I have in mind is a 360 degree panorama from Mt Luera at Camperdown with the many lakes and volcanic mountains right around the vista.
I can visualise this as a 30feet diameter photo a couple of feet wide. Trouble is I reckon it will cost about a grand just for ink and paper. So its a matter of get it perfect first time up.
