Great Ocean Road

I finally found the sun! Although one of the rare Australian whisky distilleries is in Melbourne, I felt like riding past the city. On the map the easiest way past Melbourne was via south and taking ferry across the bay. Along the way there was another airstrip that offered Adventure Flights, this time with bi-plane (a Tiger Moth). Unfortunately the weather was still not good enough in the morning, but I'm convinced that there's plenty of opportunities along the way...

Only problem with the ferry was that local Harley Davidson Social Clubs had decided to do their annual endurance race through Melbourne. All the clever ones were at the terminal, basicly blocking the place. But I managed and made a mental note not to get involved with harharharleyleyleyleys.

The Great Ocean Road offers plenty of beautiful lookouts, beaches and tourist traps... but it is a truly great looking coastline.
