Great Ocean Drive - days 15-18

Portland was like any North Scottish fishing port - cold, windy and grey. Couldn't wait to get back on the road.

But then stopped at Port Fairy - a delightful historic town that did a fantastic breakfast!

Apollo Bay was last night's stopover - what an amazing surf village - population of 12oo now but in high season (Nov - Feb) it shoots up to 30,000!! It only has one street!

Left there this morning, driving through floods, on the last stretch of the Ocean Road drive - finally made it to Melbourne at lunchtime and LOVE it here - a huge city with a really great hotel location - right in the heart of cafes, restaurants, bars, shops etc - is really cool, so glad we've got 2 nights here!

Some signs we've seen on the way:
