Man! that road rocks!
It needs to be done on a motorbike though to really get the best.

I would be keen
I would be keen but because its so far away for me I wouldn't be likely to do it again unless I was in the area already, but its just an awesome
road and I can thouroughly recomend the Cafe One 5 Three, which is at 153 Great ocean road Apollo Bay, although the menu looks a bit expensive when
you first see it, the food more than makes it worth the effort.
It would make a good target point for a cruise.
I would recommend this day out whole heartedly.

Totally agree... I went for a blast up to Kennet River (about 20ks short of Apollo Bay) and back in one night... Even if you have drum brakes like I
do, you can still take it at a decent clip coz its not really that hilly compared to Mt Dandenong anyways.... snigger...
I'd love to go for a blast/cruise when my oval's back and running...

twas a blast!
cycled from Sydney to Adelaide via the coast.
Hitched across the Nullabor to Esperence and cycled into perth.
Hitched home via Darwin
Sat for 3 days at 3 Ways waiting for a lift. Saw 3 cars in 3 days 
Biggest regret was not cycling across the Nullabor. Would have been easy i reckon

I did the Great Sub-Ocean Road on my Ducati. great road except for the falling rocks and permanent freezing rain.
Mind you, it started raining at Wodonga, and didnt stop until Mt Gambier. NSW might get more rain per annum, but it seems to me that Vic stretches
that rainfall to last all year whereas NSW gets it all in 4 hours :P
If it aint broke,
Make it go faster!!

Its not so bad for me cause im near warrnambool and at the end of the day dont have to travel home..but the others would have to get back to melb
way.....not unless we do it on a saturday and everyone camps over at my joint and we party, then they break their trip and travel home sunday.
Just an idea, plenty of camp and car spaces at my place.
cheers
