The Great Ocean Road

The beginning of the Great Ocean Road is officially in Torquay. This coastal drive is counted as one of the best in the world (along with The Cabot Trail BTW).  It stretches some 286 km along a stretch of the southern shore of the state of Victoria alonside the Southern Sea.

Torquay is a surf-centric town where the Ripcurl and Quick Silver brands were born in the 60's.

When we first arrived we went to the beach and saw many people in the midst of surfing lessons on a beautiful and large beach.

Then we visited Danger Point...made famous in the film Point Break. It was equally beauriful.

With trees beautifully shaped by the strong winds.

We waited for the sunset and the temperature plummeted, sending us back to our hotel for the night.
