I'm still in Melbourne!! Heres what I've been upto. Wednesday evening - I got back to Melbourne around 6pm. I jumped in a taxi and headed out to St kilda. It was the scariest taxi ride ever. The engine kept stalling and the taxi driver very helpfully told me there was something wrong with his car, at which point I was expecting him to pull over and call me a new cab. Did he do this?

I met up with Louise and Andy in the hostel reception at 8.30am and we set off to the car rental place where they had prebooked their car. We collected the car, chucked in the luggage and set off looking for adventure. The plan was to drive along the Great Ocean Road as far as Apollo Bay where we would spend the night in the YHA. Our first stop was the beach in Torquay, then Bells Beach and then pretty much every scenic viewing spot we could find on route. An...
