The 27th Stop: Apollo Bay, Victoria, Australia. The Great Ocean Road spans 243 kilometres along the coastline of Victoria's south-west. From it's official starting point Torquay we headed to our first base, Apollo Bay. The road curving beside the edge of coastline, ocean swelling and crashing onto the rocks and beaches below. Few lazy days at Apollo Bay. Not so lucky with the weather, but nice days whilst all the time just for the kids to play.
