The Great “Ocean“ Road

A little pit stop in Nagambie to tickle our matcha- and coffee-accustomed taste buds turned out to be a delightful treat. After a relaxing (at least for 10 min) lakeside morning — and a few more hours of driving — we drove straight past Melbourne. 😄

Intentionally, of course. To get to Allansford/Warrnambool, we first had to drive past Melbourne to reach the other end of the Great Ocean Road. Which brings me to a mild disappointment: the name. About two thirds of the Great Ocean Road don’t actually run along the ocean at all, but through forest.

Not that I’m complaining — it was very scenic. I should, however, mention that the road is long and winding. I get car-sick. Timo, on the other hand, loves a curvy road. Possibly a little too much for my comfort. I was absolutely delighted every time there was a slow car in front of us…

First stop along the Great Ocean Road: Point Addis. Surprise guest of the day: cute little blue birdie.Read more
