Van Life Community Australia | Torquay Victoria

Okay, so I've been for a bit of a run and I've just done a few little weights, little arm weights and I've done my my leg band with my legs but let's give skipping a go. Okay, I bought the skipping rope and I haven't skipped since, I don't know, primary school. So I'm going to actually allow you all to watch me try and do it for the first time so you can all have a laugh with me, not at me, with me. It really does pay off to chat with locals when you can because I've had so many tips from local people about where to go and things to see and Tom told me when I come to Torquay that I have to come to this spot because it's just magic and I couldn't find the spot initially but anyways pinned it for me and I've come here and look at this. I don't really want to say exactly where this spot is because it's not my spot to give away but yes I'm very grateful he's guided me here because it's absolutely magic, very secluded, quiet and there are toilets here as well. So as I've come into the Geelong Torquay area I have caught up with my new friend Tom again. It was so great to be in his energy again, he's so high vibe and I got to meet a lot of his friends and family. I went to his birthday drinks at the pub, I got to go to a family dinner which was so nice and I got to go to a gig that his sister-in-law was playing at and she's just got the most amazing voice ever so I'll link all her music details below but it was just so nice to be part of that sense of community again. Really really enjoyed my time there and I actually stayed for quite a few weeks and then Tom wanted to take me on one of his favorite coastal walks so this is why I love getting to know the locals because then I get to find all these little secret areas I probably wouldn't find. So this is the Ironbark Basin Nature Trail in Bells Beach and as we've started out not far along the track we stumbled across something that some random people, I don't know who, has created. There's a labyrinth and so they've made this beautiful little plaque, wooden plaque, explaining what a labyrinth is to them which is like a walking meditation so we used it as an opportunity to just slow down, take a breath and just slowly walk the labyrinth and take in our surroundings and calm our mind. You're only allowed to bring the coolest caliber of human here because this is the secret track. Well, coolness factor 100% over here. Well I was so glad that we established that I have the coolness factor to take this walk with Tom off the beaten track and we climbed a bit further and got to the top of this cliff edge and the view was just breathtaking. It was unbelievable the water was so flat it was just like glass and the cliff edge was so spectacular as well it just I don't even know what else to say about it but yeah and then one of his friends literally dropped in out of the sky. Is there anybody out there or I'm left here all alone I see the earth is spinning but I still stand tall Now the time I can see the goal I know what you're thinking but I never fall Don't wake me cause I'm dreaming Walking on thin ice I have no one I can call Thought I know the path but it seems that I got lost I wanna fight this feeling sometimes you have to crawl Walking on thin ice I have no one but my voice Forget about the past I'll go and make my own I'm gonna break this ceiling gonna break this wall Now the time I can see the goal I know what you're thinking but I never fall Don't wake me cause I'm dreaming I'm so strong from 200,000 miles and won't you see I'm so small Millions lost around me and now won't you have it all From 200,000 miles I'm coming back home Got that core again Now the time I can see the goal I know what you're thinking but I never fall Don't wake me cause I'm dreaming Millions lost around me and I'm feeling so strong From 200,000 miles and won't you see I'm so small Thanks so much for watching that video.
