Great Ocean Road - Lorne - Point Lonsdale - Queenscliff

The start of the Great Ocean Road.

The roadway was built by returned servicemen from WW1 in an effort to assist in their rehabilitation and to provide some form of employment.  66,000 Australians were killed in that war.

Great Ocean Road super bends.

We heard him coming and we saw him leaving.
Some of the homes built on the cliff edges of the Great Ocean Road are almost a traffic hazard in their own right as vehicles break heavily to get a photo.

 There is a cave just below the lighthouse that was
occupied by an escapee called William Buckley.

His life was so difficult and challenging that it borne the phrase "You've got Buckley's chance."

 This is how grand old pubs should look.
