All The Way to Apollo Bay
Apollo Bay is a lovely little seaside town down the Great Ocean Road along the southwest coast of Victoria. I decided to head down for the weekend, and was lucky enough to be in town for the Apollo Bay Music Festival - pure fluke. Anyway, the weather was pretty horrendous (intermittent bouts of rain/hail/sunshine), but as you can see by the photo below, it provided a nice little rainbow over the Apollo Bay EcoBeach YHA Backpackers where I stayed.
Every Saturday morning between 9am - 1pm there is a market which sells local crafts and produce. I was so impressed with the quality of one particular purveyor, I couldn’t help but snap a few shots. And despite the brisk breeze, the backdrop of the ocean was well worth the extra layers of clothes.
I just love the brown paper bags with their tops rolled dow. It is such an appealing way to display fruit and veg. And check out the pile of butternuts. Some tasty winter soup there!
And how great are these organic chilli strings? You can use them fresh or dry, dependent on how long it takes you to work up that firecracker-like fuse.

those chilli strings look great. Might be worth a trip down the Great Ocean Road!

Nicest place in the world and the photos do it justice.
