Erskine Falls
After brunch in Lorne, we drove up into the hills behind the town, into the Great Otway National Park, for Erskine Falls. It’s a short walk, then a lot of steps down through tall ferns to the bottom, where the water drops about 30 metres into a mossy gully. Going down is easy. Coming back up is a workout.
Then it was time for all those steps back up. Nobody talked much on the way up.
Teddy’s Lookout
Back down near Lorne is Teddy’s Lookout, high above the point where the St George River meets the sea. From up there, you can see the Great Ocean Road curling around the cliffs below you.
The sky had cleared, and the sea was the bluest blue.
Then back on the coast road to Kennett River, to look for koalas.
