Yep - single lane bypass that's posted as 80 feeding 3 lanes, down to 1, back into 3 in a 100km/h zone

 

Or do you mean the whole way?

 

Nah - not always bad, long weekend hot day "lets go to portsea" traffic is always bad though

just so many window lickers... up to 60, down to 20, stopped, up to 80, down to stopped, etc all the way along until I turned off towards Flinders... fair dinkum it was bad this morning haha but yeah, it's a hot day on a weekend and so many people going down to the coast areas

Lucky - It's a distance over time speed camera zone

Head to Cowes on an Australia Day weekend for your next "Lets sit in traffic trip"

 

Try to drive home on Sunday Arvo for the encore

[k31th]

yeah; nah.... haha

 

was a very nice day down on the coast anyway... went to Gunnamatta Ocean Beach and it's quite good down there with regard to swimming and recurrence of quality waves for both surfing and all things lesser down to body surfing that I do. Just 28 and slightly overcast most of the day helped to be warm enough but not too cold while the rest of Melbourne sweltered at 37+

Pics of Keef body surfing?

[k31th]

it's just swimming in surf waves and you try to catch waves at the right time with a bit of freestyle swimming with your body at an angle a crashing/pushing wave will push hard and against the most surface area    This post has a picture of me doing it the other week down at Sorrento back-beach.

 

Here's a pic on roughly where the less-main entrance to the beach was and it had a nice area for swimming away from where the main throng of people was, but not as good/safe swimming conditions here.

 

Then the throng of people swimming between the flags in what was a really nice area for swimming I'm in there somewhere haha. We were situated between the less-main entrance and the main entrance that's to the left of all of those people.

 

Here's another good example of the surf right across in front of where we were, if you were willing to get out to where the main sandbar caused a nice line of high waves to form.

Damn that beach doesn't look calm at all 🤣

Looks like the ocean wants to kill you! 

 

Perth's beaches are half as busy and twice as nice 😉

I love a bit of swell in my swimming, though, so it was basically perfect aside from just barely being warm enough to warm me up after a decent length swim in the cool Melbourne waters.
