YIC has just spent an enjoyable weekend on the Victoria coast courtesy of Rob & Gill MacDonald. They were most hospitable and showed YIC some of the Victoria sights. Their holiday home is at Anglesea about a 100 km south west of Melbourne. Rob & Gill are both keen walkers, and they took YIC on several excellent walks including 2 along the stunning Great Ocean Road coastline. On one walk to Split Point Lighthouse, the low tide was very neap (ie not very low) and it was necessary to plodge around a couple of corners below the cliffs. This was accomplished without any difficulty, until the intrepid walkers tried a different route on the return leg.
YIC - it looks a bit deep here
Rob (hatching a cunning plan) - should be alright, just give it a go John.
YIC (naively) - OK
SPLOOSH. YIC goes up to his waist in water.
YIC - it is a bit deep.
Rob - yes, looks that way, let's go back. Never mind John, worse things happen when you try to ford the Aln at low tide.
