Geelong Show Grounds, Vicoria {Overnight}

Our original plan was to spend two nights in Geelong to explore the surrounds, but after arriving at the show grounds, we could only have one {stupid up coming long weekend, stupid country music festival}.  That said it is a great place to stay if you are ever in the area.  Just over $20 for all of us with power & hot showers.

We arrived early afternoon unhooked and without setting up went out to have a look around the city.  Bugger being a little later as we missed a big Sunday market that was on, but we did get to see some amazing old buildings, eat tasty ice-cream and see a replica ship arrive in the bay.

   

We packed up early Monday and left the camper at the showgrounds and went out to explore Point Lonsdale and surrounds.  It is definitely a holiday destination with heaps of houses empty, even fancy looking ones!

    

 

The kids loved that they got to see another seal just off from the lighthouse, even closer than our big walk!  We headed back to the camper, had some lunch before hocking up and heading to Werribee for the night {we promised the kids the zoo}
