Great Ocean Road

I finally took my little CC on its first big drive last Saturday. I went through country (via Colac and Camperdown) to Port Campbell, went to see all the sights on the coast there and revisit the site of many a family camping trip, and then came back along the Ocean Road.

It was just awesome. The view was fantastic and the CC just held the road brilliantly, despite how fast I tried to take the corners. And yes of course the top was down!!!! (even though it wasnt that sunny)

That is a drive that everyone should experience at least once in their life!!!

I drove from Adelaide to Melbourne via the Great Ocean Rd last August (on my way to see the Wrestling @ Colonial).

Brilliant with the roof down - the views were awesome.
