Great Ocean Road 20th May 2013

Sorry about the late update. I’m not in Bondi – you’d probably gathered that. We’ve just circumnavigated the state of Victoria stalking waves.

You gotta be tough to surf down here in Vicco. They’ve got great waves but it’s cold, windy, wet and fickle. When it’s on, it’s on – world class. But when the artic winds blow (and its small) you’ll need to spend some time in the car, which ain’t a bad thing…seeing The Great Ocean Road is probably one of the most famous stretches of road in Australia. It was built between 1919 and 1932. It’s the world’s largest war memorial, dedicated to the casualties of World War I…a fine tribute hugging some of the most picturesque coastline I’ve seen.

The waves are small and the wind is blowing down here…we found some B-grade waves but hoping to find more quality as we drive along the 242 kilometres of The Great Ocean Road.

The twelve, sorry I mean eight Apostles are spectacular!

    Couple of geography lessons uge: Antarctic ocean you will find is south of Australia, not the Arctic; and the correct spelling is Johanna. Sydney folks ..

      Thanks Vicco. Noted about the Artic vs Antartic…sorry. Oh and ‘Joey’ was intentional.

      Far out I hope it stops raining!

      Cheers, uge
