We like you shit n all too, Ali
Chris....Warnambool is a beatufil spot to visit, maybe an overnighter so you can cruise along the Great Ocean Road.
Apollo Bay is gorgeous and the big restaurant on the hill on the right that overlooks the ocean is divine!! You will see what I mean when you drive past, you cant miss it.
Ottway Ranges are very pretty and have some great walking trails and waterfalls.
Id venture up to the Grampians, but that wouldnt seem like a big drive too me. They have the best icecream at Halls Gap. I was born over that way
Williamstown is fantastic for getting your shop on!! and awesome food.
If you spend time in Melbourne, go to South Bank and walk along the boardwalk. Its such a pretty place and so many little treasures tucked into the arcades. My favourite being Paddy's Irish Bar...just dont mention my name.....long story.
Sorry I missed your Mum, Sundae. If I had my shit together, I would have seen this thread and might have been able to pop down as well.
