Great Ocean Road

We left Melbourne with a new black small Toyota. Good cars by the way...
The first stop was Geelong with its Tourism office, where nice ladies tried to help us to organize our trip ! It was harder to book rooms... So we let chance decided for us...And it was better !
Torquay has a beautiful beach and a surf museum !
Next, we stopped at Bells Beach, the famous beach in the movie "Point Break" and where every easter they have a world surfing competition !!!!!!!!!!!
Kelly Slater and Mick Fannings and others surf there of course ! Check on google to find out who they are, please... :)
Vincent and I took some pictures, didn't see huge waves (it wasn't the right time) and had a picnic ! The sea was chilly, even cold !
I drove little !
We enjoyed sunset at the 12 Apostles, saw London Bridge, nice parks with koalas and echidnea !
It is such a nice drive !
However when you have to go to Adelaide, then it is boring... and long !!!!!!!!
Well, we saw a wild emu, a giant fake lobster, discovered a weird town and the weather was rainy, sunny and cold !
I drove on a highway, as they call it in Oz.

Best memory : a beautiful beach we found luckily and the water was great ! I wanted to swim there, so much ! No time unfortunately or no swimmers ?
Worst time : I almost killed an eagle while driving...It flew to the car, this idiot ;)
