Have a good ride everyone. Only arrived home today (Friday) in the caravan and I think it might be a bit of a rush to go on the ride tomorrow. Maybe the next one

 We've arrived at Curdievale and we're currently sitting at the Boggy Creek Pub waiting on our meal. We had a fairly stress free ride other than the bumper to bumper traffic through Melbourne. Bit of drizzle on & off but not enough to get wet.
Looking forward to catching up with you all to morrow...
Ride safe! 😁

I think London Bridge is called London Arch these days.

Nice pics of great Scenery. I came back via Pt Campbell then onto the Ocean Rd thru to the Apostles, then back thru Colac. Have to say, a long time since I was down that end of town, but the colour of the water was a magnificent blue. Nice place to be.  :thumb
