The Great Ocean Road

No visit to Victoria would be complete without a drive along the Great Ocean Road. We drove down to Warnambool and had a tour of Epworth’s new cancer centre (Epworth is the healthcare provider that Margie works for). It was very impressive and so new! We had a nice dinner with Margie’s sister Vicky and Vicky’s daughter. From Warnambool we drove east along the Great Ocean Road to our final destination – Kerry and Porky’s (Margie’s other sister and her husband) cabin in Apollo Bay. The drive along the ocean is amazing – such a different shore from the Sunshine Coast. It’s ruggedly beautiful even when it’s windy and cold. We had a great time in Apollo Bay and the cabin was lovely. 

We’re into our last week of our Australian visit. We’re celebrating Christmas on Sunday with a nice turkey dinner and then we’ll be on our way back to Toronto!

Run before that rock tower gets you.
