Yeah had to work, so bailed at Apollo Bay. The others should be just getting to the 12 (8?) Apostles by now I reckon. I'm sure there will be lots of photos late this afternoon when they return.

OK, just checked the camera and have a grand total of 47 pics :shock: (too busy driving i suspect) Think that would have to be a new record for the least number of pics i've ever taken on a run :( ......sooooo if anyone has any more pics send them to me via email and i'll put them online as well

Just finished sorting through them and picked out the best and they can be found here.

Here is a great pic of my co-pilot for half the day -

Got over an hour of video throught the twisties yet to sort through, give me a couple of days for that one :P

Thanks for a great day. It was an awesome experience to look in the rear view mirror and see 18 odd cars all in line on the ocean rd.

Great job Chrissy in suggesting this and getting it going. I saw nothing but smiling faces and stories of technique and awe. It was like listening to children after winning a big match. So many commented on how great the road and views were.

I have lots of pics but don't know how to display them. :roll: :mrgreen: Maybe I'll email you a couple Drew to add to the collection.
