Melbourne to Portland return.
February 2023, Nyesha and I did a road trip from Melbourne to Portland along the Great Ocean Road. The Great Ocean Road has a permanent memorial to those who died while fighting in World War I carved in rock. Built by returned servicemen, it winds around the rugged southern coast and was a huge engineering feat ending decades of isolation for Lorne and other coastal communities. The route was officially opened on 26 November 1932. It is considered one of the world’s most scenic coastal touring routes, spanning 243 kilometres along the stunning coastline of Victoria’s south-west.
