    Camping down here for 10 days at Kennett River,a great base to takeoff each day and explore this fantastic region.

    Turtons Track is agreat ride, up to Lavers Hill, and then back down hill to Apollo Bay.  The camber and turns on the road just above Apollo are just built for bikes I reckon.

    oh we'll, another log on the fire, then another ride tomorrow.

    Hi,


    Yeah you not wrong HD willo, beautiful place to ride around

    I enjoy the run from apollo bay to colac thru forrest etc, or keep going down to portland, warrnambool etc,

    If you wanna go back towards torquay then try it at 5-6pm also, its a bit quieter and the sky can be very nice


    Thanks

    +1. Great roads when the traffic is light. Best on week days. Do it most years to and from Philip Island superbikes. Ready to hit it  again in about 3 weeks time. Love the Lavers hill stretch into Appollo Bay.

    Hi,

    Beautiful late arvo/early evening yesterday, got to see 4 koala's enjoying life in the tree tops on the trip, was a real thrill joining in with plenty of new aussies, juicy vans, wicked campers and nomads enjoying the wildlife

    Thanks

    I've done it probably 6-7 times , but the last couple we have stopped at Torquay and Appolo bay , for a day or two and theres some great roads all around that area , not just the main drag .. In fact Vic has great roads full stop

    Hi,

    Good one,

    it would be a dream come true to one day watch the World Rally Championship race on that road and surrounding roads that take you to Forrest, Lavers Hill, Port Campbell, Colac etc

    Now that Ron Walker is cured he should lead Melbourne Major Events to secure the race

    Thanks
