Australia - 2007 - Great Ocean Road

by Clay Sneller

While in Australia for 3.5 months with my family, we drove from Adelaide to Melbourne and included the Great Ocean Road in the trip. This is one of the best ocean drives in the world. The small towns were charming, the scenery fantastic, the weather just so-so. But no worries. While we drove from West to East, the pics are from East to West.
