Day 9 - Port Apollo to Anglesea

Final day of tour #1

Today brought to a close the first tour and what a way to finish. We had an amazing ride along the Great Ocean Road with vistas to die for, the photos will speak for themselves. There was a swirling wind that became pretty strong by the end of the ride but it was a lovely temperature and it did not rain. The route was coastal with rolling hills but nothing onerous. Once we reached Anglesea we had lunch and then travelled by van back to Melbourne. We concluded this part of the tour with a group dinner at a local Greek restaurant.

So far for me it has been 663km/414mi.

Our Tennessee couple at the site of a shipwreck where the crew and passengers survived but 5 people died trying to salvage the cargo.

A dedication to the men who built this road.

This black parrot caught my ear more than my eye.

The highest point today, a statement of the obvious.

The memorial arch to the Great Ocean Road.

Several of the girls at the historical monument for the GOR.

Another beautiful bay and beach this time suitable for surfing.

There are numerous signs like this along the Great Ocean Road identifying landmarks.

Today's ride: 74 km (46 miles)
Total: 778 km (483 miles)
