Mt Gambier to Lorne



Jetty at Beach Point?



Blue lake at Mt Gambier, which is their water supply.



Great Ocean Road.



12 apostles or what is left of them.Is it 7 left??, or 6 1/2.



Cray Fisherman weighing their catch,they were a bit cagey about how much it was worth.

Mt Gambier to Lorne, 400kms,
Went to Portland, Port Fairy and then along the Great Ocean Road,and then on to Lorne.
The views along the GOR are spectacular.
The road is fun to drive along in the van as I had no passengers, and I could fling it around the corners,and then stop and fix up all the wine cases that had slipped around.
From Donna & Bob~ One of the highlights was Rebecca's bakery @ Port Fairy were Donna had the best ever Caramel slice, 6cm high x 7cm square - mmmmmm... coffee was good too.
We stopped at some of the viewing spots along GOR and assembled for an aerial shot from the film crew that had rented one of the sight seeing helicopters to video most everyone heading out from the 12 Apostles car park. Once we had traveled in a group for around 3 minutes we went back to normal speed and went "hunting" for the GOR then to Lorne. Through the Ottoways, great bike roads & beautiful scenery, the Ducati W.....s had a blast!
Had drinks & dinner at the pub and bade a final farewell to 'Clint & Kylie' who were finishing thier tour in Melb, a great couple whom we shared many laughs with. Hope to catch up with them in the future.
