Melbourne, Australia

Drove to Melbourne today. A couple stops on the way but mainly driving. We stopped for a quick hike to see a waterfall and spent an hour in the small coastal town of Lorne. Lorne was pretty little one street town right on the beach. There was a lifeguarding competition going on so we watched for a while. They really take their beach clubs and lifeguarding seriously here. It’s really developed into a sport. Back on the road we finished off the great ocean Rd at Blackmans Brewery in Torquay. Their cider was the best we sampled.

We continued our drive to the Melbourne airport to drop off our rental car. After a short bus ride to the city center we checked into our hotel. We did a little binge TV watching before venturing out for some Malaysian food. We’ll explore the town tomorrow.Read more
