Great Ocean Road 26th November 2013

Took an early flight to Melbourne from Sydney. Cannot believe how many flights there are between these two cities. At least 4 between 8:00 and 9:00 in morning.
Picked up hire car and with Wendy navigating found our way to the Great Ocean Road. Built by unemployed workers in the 1920s it is an incredible road snaking its way along the coast. We started along the road at Torquay and finished up at Apollo Bay for the night.
At Anglesea the local Info Guy told us where to find Kangaroos and Koala Bears. We succeeded in finding the Roos, Koalas tomorrow.About 400 roos live on the local golf course and don't seem to mind golf balls whizzing by them every so often. The last bit of the journey from Lorne was the most spectacular with the road hugging the coast line and its every turn.
