The Great Ocean Road

There are so many things in this country that are called great. The Great Barrier Reef, the Great Dividing Range, the Great Red Center, and the Great Ocean Road......
risking life and limb for a great picture

    Well the road (Great Ocean Road) is a twisted narrow undulating mess of cracking fallen pavement. 100 km speed limit on a road you are challenged to do 80 km on. Awesome for a motorcycle but insane for an RV.
    We left Melbourne and found our way to the M1 south through Geelong and on to the coast road. Being a Saturday and this being Australia there was a bicycle rally of sorts going on and we had to share this narrow road with hundreds of these cyclists from Anglesea to Skenes Creek.

   The coastline is spectacular. The water is an indescribable blue. Pounding surf and rosy sand, WOW.
   We danced and slipped through small towns on our way to Apollo Bay for a night's rest in the Pisces Big 4 Holiday Park.
   The next morning we journey on to the Twelve Apostles on this twisty ocean highway.
