Flew from Sydney to Avalon Airport near Melbourne, at the start of the Great Ocean Road. The state was in the middle of a record heat wave, 5 days over 40.. when I arrived in Avalon it was 44 degrees Celsius! (that 110 Fahrenheit!)... at least packing was easy, shorts, t-shirts and thongs only, no long pants or jackets...
I arrived around 3pm, got picked up by my friend Boe and family, then we drove down to Cumberland River, where we camped with another family for the weekend.
After we set up we went for a surf at the above beach, then drove to Lorne Hotel for dinner... only to find out the whole town was blacked out due to the Heatwave....
