Johanna Beach

 This was the second drop and added late in day, original plan was one at Cape Otway and then the end, at the twelve apostles.

We realised that the road did actually meet the walking track and so it was added.

We visited on the day before the start of the walk and it was a nice place. A bank of toilets, lawned area and some shelters. The GOW campsite was 400 metres further up the hill and as we had Lucy we couldn't check it out.

The weather turned to crap, supposed to be showers on Thursday only but it rained that night and got progressively worse. 

Three damp and cold bunnies when I got there yesterday with hot chocolate and a warm car to sit awhile. They had just trudged 2kms across the beach which sounds okay but not when it's blowing a gale and swirling sands in your face, then a river crossing requiring shoes and socks off.

I walked up the hill and collected a cache while they drank their chocolate.



One cache. A nice ammo can.


The view from the hill, I only had to go up 80 metres, GOW campsite was another 300 metres further on. It was 31 KMs from Bimbi park where Lucy and I were staying.
