So I made my way to Torquay about 1.5 drive south of Melbourne.....the beginning of the Great Ocean Road. I survived a couple of roundabouts and some very interesting in town driving! Have a room to myself tonight, easing myself into the hostel life! Arrived to find out two tour groups of university kids are taking over the place tonight.....thankfully I have ear plugs!! With my vehicle parked for the day ( too tired for safe driving) I went for a walk down to th...

The flights yesterday went great, only issue was I arrived in Vancouver to find they had damaged my bag. The clasp that holds one of the shoulder strap...
