Today was our mid rally relax day which gives everyone just a little time to recharge the batteries, so no wacko sections were organised, no schedules set and the day both started and ended in Camperdown. Although today held no hard driving this was one of the most spectacular days on the Great Escape thus far.

People were free to spend their time anyway they saw fit. Some decided to relax and catch up on sleep, while others fixed their vehicles and some even chose to clean their cars (that's what I call wacko!). The cars that did venture out were treated with a magical view, as a large portion of today's travels included the Great Ocean Road. What amazing sights! Highlights included eating lunch at Otway Fly, a multimillion dollar tourist attraction built in the tree tops of old growth forest and visiting the 12 Apostles.

Sadly today was definitely not the best weather wise. Cloudy, rainy and windy sums it up with everyone donning jackets, beanies, gloves and scarves just to catch a glimpse of the 12 Apostles. During picture taking, holding the camera steady was a difficult task, and most people looked like balloons as the incredible wind continued to puff up their jackets! Car 31, The Creon Crusaders learned best about poor weather when their windshield wipers failed, and Todd was forced to manually work the wipers the entire way home, with his hand out the window through the wind, rain and even hail.

The weather may be heading south but the pranks continue to fly, with Car 2206 waking up to find their car completely sealed out from them by the White Wine Wenches. Friendships and memories continue to flourish in this environment, and awareness continues to grow along with the Great Escape.
