We rented a car again for the weekend and hit The Great Ocean Road out of Melbourne. The road was built by the returning soldiers from WWI and has been a beaten tourist track ever since. The road hugs the southern coast for most of the journey and the views are very impressive. For once you're not travelling to see something - the travelling is the something. About two thirds of the way along is the 'Twelve Apolstles' - Great big pillars sticking out of the ocean ... very impressive.

Also, if you've ever seen the film 'Point Break' the bit at the end was filmed here at Bells Beach. It's also where the surfing championships are each year. We even saw a few surfers the day we were there and they were actually good.
And look who we picked up in Melbourne for the trip ...
