Come with us along the Great Ocean Road

August 7th, 2007 by Yvonne

We have decided to explore once again beyond our wonderful Torquay home, to refresh our knowledge of this famous neighbourhood.

We thought a 2-day trip staying at either Port Campbell or Port Fairy would be easy and pleasurable. No great rush – just an easy drive indulging in views, cafes and some of the gorgeous sights along the Great Ocean Road.

Now this is just a drive – it is winter here now so we’re not stripping down to surf! We don’t really do that anyway, but if you’re a surfer, look out for forthcoming blog posts where we will be chatting with Grayme (Gally) and Christian from Torquay Surfing Academy, who know all the secrets of surfing the best breaks as well as the famous ones.

So long as you are prepared to put on your wetsuit and brave the elements the Surf Coast is surfable all year round. The mad surfer husband of one of my artist friends was out during our coldest and wettest winter day this year - 21st July - because “they were the best waves”.

We’ll also be blogging our itinerary as we go, so if it’s a drive holiday you’re into, come along for the ride and we’ll keep you up-to-date on our wonderful Great Ocean Road region. We’re also available online for enquiries and bookings - you could say this is a busman’s holiday for us - but we’re not complaining!
