We got as far as Foster near Wilson’s Promontory thinking we would spend couple of days in the Prom. Unfortunately, a lightning strike set fire to a remote part so the CFS has closed the park until the fire goes out. See Photo. It is not threatening any homes so it is low on their priority list at the minute.Further east, they have closed the road due to the threat of the fires, so we will not be going that way for a while. It could be that we will have to turn back and have a long look at the Great Ocean Road.
The ABC radio is giving regular updates, and so is Channel 10. It’s the only TV station still operating in this area since the Channel 7 transmitter went on Saturday night.
There are lots of places to see around here. The coast is dotted with little communities, whose main industry seems to be fishing, farming or mending roads, and there are always spectacular views of the coastline.
Hi Kathy
ReplyDeletejust read your blog and pleased that they have blocked you going east.
Stick with the Great Ocean Road, at least you can run into the ocean if a fire breaks out. It seems as if there is more than one deliberately lit fire involved in Vic. Thinking of you both - Julie & Bert.
