Member 176 Member For: 22y 25d Location: North Lake Macquarie NSW Posted 07/01/04 12:40 PM Share Posted 07/01/04 12:40 PM Well it all started boxing day 3:00am :banghead: , got draged out of bed, and into the car. Started on the freeway for the long haul down to Sydney and onto that very ineresting road called the Hume Highway.3:30am spot a highway patrol car!! Early hours dont deter the radar operatorsThe Hume Highway is quite ineresting, with its scenic tumble weeds and various fences.12 hours laterThe great ocean road is a very nice road, its seems victoria can build roads properly, every corner has nice camber and the limit does not seem ludicris (except in the city) I would recommend two days to drive it properly, one day for stopping and looking at all of the towns and tourist attractions (photos below), and one day for driving it properly, make sure you plan a quiet day when the campervans and camry altise drivers arent let loose.I was away over the new year which is my birthday, it wasnt the best new year going to bed at 10:30.BUT I know the good hearted people could celabrate a little later than the 1st, so how about it(check the pics) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/8385-great-ocean-road/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumpy What's happening? Lifetime Members 1,605 Member For: 22y 6m 15d Gender: Male Location: Steel City, NSW Posted 07/01/04 10:11 PM Share Posted 07/01/04 10:11 PM Ive got a great photo taken in the same place as that family shot from when we cruised the GOR late last year.Except the rain is coming in sideways, the free Hahn umbrella is struggling to keep it together, and I have a great look on my face while muttering something like "hurry up and take the F****ng photo, I'm f****ng freezing" to the missus. Nice place Victoria, really turned on the weather for us....Awesome road though :hiwelcome: Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/8385-great-ocean-road/#findComment-80102 Share on other sites More sharing options...
