The Great Ocean Walk - Cape Otway to Aire River - Day 4

We had a reasonable start to the day leaving camp at 9.30am for a 10km medium grade walk from Cape Otway to Aire River camp site. Over the course of the trip we have accumulated some rubbish - so JB and I thought that we would talk it upto the tourist centre to see f they would take it as opposed to carrying it for the rest of the trip. The staff at the light house centre were kind enough to take our rubbish which meant a little less weight and bulk in our packs. We caught up with the group at the Light House Keepers cemetery.

We had another uneventful day's walking but we did get some spectacular views of the coastline. We did a beach walk for a couple of kms before heading back upto the track. The beach walk was very nice. Back on the track we had some spectacular views of the Aire Inlet as we approached it. Interestingly the inlet was closed at the mouth of the river.

The camp site was divided into sites for drive in campers and a site for the walkers. On the banks of the river there was a small jetty where we decided to go for a swim. The water was spanner water - really very cold, however it was oh so refreshing washing off 4 days of sweat and salt. After a quick dip we explored around and spotted some beautifully marked Koalas.

JB and Chis went fishing and caught some small Australian Salmon, which we threw back. We had a peaceful night with a wonderful Curry Laksa for mains and a not so great Apricot Crumble for dinner.
