Lorne Meet Up - The Plan
We are staying at Great Ocean Road Cottages in Lorne
See previous posts for more details here and here
Day One – Saturday 27th October
- When you each arrive, please check in with reception where you will be asked to pay your $50 accomodation up front and will be shown to your cottage (they have a room list so you don’t have to worry) Make sure you have Jo’s mobile number with you in case you are late/lost
- Anyone who is in time for a 1pm lunch, grab some nibbles from the supermarket or bring your own- we’re having a BYO picnic on the beach. Meet at the BBQ area near the corner of Beal Street and The Great Ocean Road.
- After lunch is “Free play” kiddies to roam the shops, hit the beach, or go for a walk in the trees, pull out a good book, have a photo shoot… whatever really.
- Dinner is at 7pm at The Lorne Pub (where we will discuss day two)
Day Two – Sunday 28th October
- Breakfast in town or self catered for in our cottages.
- Depending on numbers, We can endevour to do the Erskine Falls walk and for those of us who are unfit/not interested in pretty trees, We can either hit the beach of jump in some cars and do a scenic drive of part of the Great Ocean Road.
- Let Jo know as you all leave to return to Melbourne so I don’t freak out that you were kidnapped and are being tortured under the jetty…. or something :)
There is some great information on Lorne here
Still want to come but can’t spend the night?
Why not join us for lunch on Saturday or head over on Sunday to join in the touristy activities?

Jo – You’ll have to start to work on alternatives to warm and mushy. I personally recommend the utter ruthlessness seminar series – as taken by many lawyers, parking officers and politicians.
Tim – At this stage I’m planning to come down on the Sunday. If you’re interested in a lift keep in touch.
Jo O'Brien
“Shut your big yap unless you’ve got something important to say”...
.... is that more like it John? :)
John Robb
Yes please miss Jo. I like the abuse miss Jo.
