Great Ocean Road Drive
Drive to Melbourne’s suburbs complimented with sea beaches on one side and mountains on the other is as exciting as travelling within the city’s CBD. One fine day in the month of January when weather was quite favorable, we decided to go on a long drive and enjoy some of Melbourne’s scenic country side. The first thing that was on our mind was the Long drive on the Great Ocean road stretch, which is considered as one of the most scenic drives across Australia’s southern coastline. We packed our picnic bags and stuffed them with light snacks and some refreshing drinks and started for our destination.
En route we could witness vast spreads of Greenland and woodlands dotted with small wooden cottages and cows giving a feel of picture perfect countryside. Heaps of rolled dry grass gave a perfect picturesque backdrop. Our entire journey was full of adventure while enjoying blue ocean waters on one side and lush green mountainous ranges on other side dotted with holiday homes.
Sun kissed Lorne beaches
After almost 3 hours of drive from Melbourne we reached Lorne which is a popular Beach tourist resort town located on the Great Ocean Road between Aireys Inlet and Wye River.
