Ok, I offered to organise another cruise for us Melbourne froggies so here it goes. Many expressed an interest in the Great Ocean Road. It would be a sensational drive, however it takes quite a while to get to it from where most of us live (south eastern suburbs) and has the potential to be full of road side revenue raisers and tourists. From where I live (Burwood) it should take about 3 hours to get to Apollo Bay. So really we would need to leave very early in the morning unless people wanted to organise overnight accomodation.
The alternative is to have a nice drive up in the hills. Justin says the roads from Cambarville to Warburton are very twisty so that is another option.
So what will it be? Down to the coast or up to the hills.
As for time I think it will be in mid-late Feb as it coincides with the French Car day on Sunday 23rd. So I'm thinking the drive should be either the weekend before (15th-16th Feb) or Saturday 22nd.
EDIT: If anyone has an alternative place to go let me know! I think it would be nice to go somewhere with water seeing it will be in Feb (hope everyone has aircon!).
