There is not a room or a house or even a camp-site left in Torquay for new Year’s Eve and that is probably the same story for the rest of the Great Ocean Road. This is the most popular time of the year to be on this coast for fabulous beach holidays.
We have had family from Darwin and are getting ready to farewell a daughter and her husband who are leaving to live in Dubai. So our household has been busy. Our guests have been enjoying warm weather but New Year’s day is expected to be cool.
Along with the Point Danger swim on the 17th January there will be a run on the cliff top just metres from Wattle Court Retreat on the Friday evening the 16th January. This is the cliff top where we walk our dog along with many other dogs and owners. The spectacular view and gentle slopes to walk along in the bush heath is one of the delights of visiting this natural area of Australia.
A new playground has been built in the Bob Pettit Reserve behind Wattle Court Retreat which is an added pleasure for parents with small children staying in Jan Juc. And in the New Year there will be a barbecue.
The Falls concert is fully booked with excited campers who love a good rock concert in the bush outside of Lorne. There will be many parties tonight.
If you are on the road today or tonight please be careful. Keep to the speed limits and be courteous to other drivers. The road is narrow and windy in many places with distracting views which will make it hard for the driver to concentrate so do pull over at the many designated viewing spots to take in the beauty.
We wish you all a very happy and safe New Year.
