Australia 2020 - Day 5 - Apollo Bay
Monday
Colin went to collect our hire car whilst I checked of our Melbourne hotel and we set off on the next stage of our adventure. A couple of things were rather familiar, the car is a Toyota Corolla (a descendant of Colin's first car) and the weather which was a cool 16-19 degrees and persistent rain - although it is hard to be too upset as this is much needed rain in Australia.
The Great Ocean Rd is billed as one of the world's iconic drives which is hard for us to quantify so far although it is a tribute to the men who built it after the First WW.
Apollo Bay is a convenient stopping place along the way with a few shops and bars, we had a great Chardonnay IPA but at 6.4% it's a good job we were walking not driving!
There were a few hardy souls surfing in the bay and evidence of soot on the beach, we aren't sure if this is from local fires or much bigger fires from further afield.
5,000 steps, 3 miles
