19th september - great ocean road. - apollo bay to geelong





from the look of the map there is nothing to much now from apollo bay to torquay which is the end of the great ocean road, although i still haev further to drive before i get to melbourne.
so headed out of apollo bay, managed to locate more view points along the road, took some rather nice pics. and as you can see the road really goes close to the ocean, you get some amazing views while driving. yes i know i am meant to be looking at the road !!
so we found a waterfall that was a short walk off the great ocean road, took us about 20 mins to find it. which was pretty good, i believe there was more to see, but the walk was about a 3hr walk and we both decided we had, had enough. so got back in the car
this time we ended up in a town called lorne, which has a lovely view point called teddy's viewpoint. which is the 3rd picture down. Had lunch at the teddy's view point.
We also managed to find a beach, which i suppose isn't surprising seen as we are next to the ocean. the beach had a wreak on it of a boat from 19th century, but unfortunaly you can only see it when it is low tide. nevermind.
basically back in the car for more driving, got to torquay, was thinking of staying there but there was nothing there to be honest. although the population was 3700 which is bigger then some of the places we have stayed. we decided to keep on driving up to geelong, which only took another hour. as there wasn't that much to see after apollo we made good time.
stayed in geelong for the night, walked round the town, went to safeways, yes it is still called safeways over here. did some dinner, and chilled out infront of a TV for a change, nothing amazing, some shitting australian cops show and a american Tv show about videos on the internet, you know you tube and stuff.
played some more cards, yes i lost again. and no he doens't have a four leaf glover up his arse, or so he tells me. i still have me suspections.
