We're starting the drive along the Great Ocean
Road, the world's second most beautiful drive (according to the literature
from the local tourist board). Although it can be done in a couple of
days, we're planning to take a couple of weeks, by staying 4 or 5 days
in various towns, and basically taking it slooowly. And today was a
great example – we managed to drive just 20 kilometres along it, from
Torquay to Anglesea (yes, there really are Australian towns, I'm not
making it up). To slow ourselves down, we spent half an hour in Torquay
looking for a suitable cabin, then stopped for a picnic lunch at Point
Addis, looking out over cliffs and sea covering half a dozen shipwrecks
from the 19th century. But after that exhausting drive, we stopped in
Anglesea caravan park and got no further! We're now tucked up in an
identical cabin to last night, where we intend to stay for the next
5 days. I'm sure that there's a lot to see and do (open cast coal mine
tour anyone?)
