We decided to venture beyond Melborne today so off we went first thing this morning onto the Great Ocean Road. Rather then try in my minuscule way to describe what this road is all about let me quote what I have read.

"Fresh salty air fills you with adventure. Iconic landscapes loom, and a sense of grandness, of freedom, sweeps in. The Great Ocean Road, where nature's drama unfolds at every turn.

A coastal sanctuary of contrasting natural beauty, where unexpected hinterland waterfall walks reveal dappled lush forests at the edge of lively salt-washed villages, and rugged oceanic splendour and raw seascapes draw you along with superb wines, fine dining and relaxed unwinding; fabulous flora, fauna, and fantastic fun along the way."

So there ... that says it all .. a direct quote, punctuation and all. Really a great ride, took us 12 hours from start to finish. I've posted some pictures.

Temp. 21C some cloud but mostly sunny .
