It is getting challenging to remember what we did post and what we didn't considering our internet access has a been a bit sketchy as of late. Soooo, I apologize if this is a repeat--but well it was a great experience so no harm in repeating it!
Way way back when we were in Melbourne and travelling the Great Ocean Road, we spent a day driving to see the 12 Apostles. As was our normal course of action we tried to take a different route each time we went out. This time we were taking an inland route that was supposed to get us to the 12 Apostles quicker then the Great Ocean Road----well it did but we sort of took a wrong turn and oh boy it was a great wrong turn!
A few days earlier I had been reading about cheesemakers in the region and really wanted to visit one of them. And lo and behold we found ourselves right at the turnoff for the Apostle Whey Cheese Factory. It was 9am and they didn't open until 10, but they had a public bathroom and well we needed it. It was a small farm with the owners house right next to the shop, so he saw us waiting for the bathroom and came out and offered to give us a tasting, which of course we accepted.
Our timing was quite fortuitous as well because a huge rainstorm (hail and horizontal rain) came in about 2 minutes after we got inside. So, we were able to watch the storm from the relative warmth of the shop while tasting really delicious cheese.
Yeah!!! such a lovely wrong turn!
