Sunset at Cape Otway

After a quiet - and HOT - afternoon in the caravan park at Apollo Bay (fantastic park right beside the beach  with great surf) we decided to try to see the sunset at the Cape Otway lighthouse. Unfortunately, we didn’t plan very well and so didn’t realize until we were on the road that the lighthouse grounds closed at 5pm. We decided to wing it and after a very poor choice of trails that was marked ‘Cape Otway Lighthouse Lookout’ (OK – that was my choice, as it was so clearly marked and I’m a sucker for an official sign and you must admit, it SOUNDED very promising but was a total disappointment) we finally listened to Toby’s directions and found an unmarked path that took us directly to the coast path JUST in time for sunset. It was a sprint – but it was worth it.
