Middle of Nowhere

I was just waiting for the guards to shout LOCK DOWN!
Who's that freak?! Deserted restaurant number 1
Deserted restaurant number 2

Going along the Great Ocean Road you are pretty far from any large towns, so you often look on the map for a big place and when you get there, you are confronted with a 'massive' town the length of one small street. Complete with one pub, one hotel, one post office and one grocery shop...and they all close about 5pm. Brilliant. So we had to stay the night in the back of beyond really. The first night we stayed in a place called Apollo Bay, we check into a hostel to be greeted by some woman in her PJs called Molly and she shows us our room crawling with bugs! We had a mooch about the garden and saw that we weren't 'lucky' enough to stay in a shared 4 bed room...better known as a CARAVAN! Yep, they are just sat at the bottom of the garden, rusting away! We survived the night! The second night we stayed in a place called Port Fairy in Victoria's oldest hostel...and you could tell! The toilets were a rainy walk away from our room in the 'Hay barn', but the best bit was the town. All one street of it. We had to eat out and went in some pub and as we walked in it seemed to go deadly silent, for fear of 2 non-locals! At about 9pm the place went dead and it was time to ship out! Finally we stayed in Mt Gambier but the choice of hostel left a little to be desired...it was a jail. No lie! It was like a scene from Shawshank and it was so creepy! Plus the fact that it had a wild, and may I say angry, emu sneaking around oustide, we went to the nearest motel and had done with it!
