I maintain that as I've only celebrated 21 birthdays, I'm only 21. Mrs S_R disagrees...
The following morning we were off on our roadtrip. We went to bed at about 2am and were up again at 5am to catch the first ferry out of Sorrento. The reason for this was to get a jump on the easy public holiday traffic that would be converging on the Great Ocean Road (one of the best driving roads in the world):

I've converted him to LPG which means the majority of the boot is filled with a 40-ltr doughnut gas tank.
Day one ends at Apollo Bay and a total of just 295kms under the tyres. Day two starts with dawn from our Balcony:

Port Campbell inlet:
My first 'wild' Echidna!! Mrs S_R says we were very lucky to see it, as this is the second one she's ever seen:
