Let's Explore Australia - The Big Lap - Day 001 - Melbourne to Robe

Day 1 of the new series. Let's explore Australia. The Big Lap. Day 1 - Melbourne to Robe. This adventure took place in the latter half of 2024. Come with me on a zig-zag tour of the country. An inside lap, an outside lap, the inner and outer corners, the extremities, the highs and the lows, the good roads, the bad roads and sometimes not even any roads at all. Today's leg takes in The Great Ocean Rd, The Otways, The Twelve Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge, Picanninie Ponds and Mt. Gambier before finishing up just outside Robe. 00:00 Intro 00:00:35 Werribee 00:13:44 Anglesea 00:17:21 Fairhaven 00:18:50 Memorial Arch 00:21:55 Lorne 00:36:29 Apollo Bay 00:46:40 The Otways Redwoods 00:55:44 Lavers Hill 01:04:24 The Twelve Apostles 01:08:28 Port Campbell 01:20:56 Warrnambool 01:29:00 Port Fairy 01:41:29 Portland 01:53:45 Nelson, VIC/SA Border 02:01:43 Mt Gambier 02:11:22 Millicent 02:17:55 Beachport 02:21:05 Bog Ln 02:26:57 Long Gully Rd 02:27:25 Long Gully Campground The Days Drive: 553.3km @ 73km/h over 7h32m gave 12l/100 Terrain: On Road - 546.3km (94.8%), Off Road - 30.1km (5.2%) Fuel: No Refuel Elevation: Max - 564m, Rate - 8.9m/km Curve Density: 23.5°/km Coverage: Telstra - 576km (100%), Optus - 576km (100%), Vodafone - 576km (100%) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_O... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redwood... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Twe...) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loch_Ar... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piccani...
