More Tales from the Great Ocean Road: Torquay


As the warm weather is about to disappear for the third week in a row I paid my homage to the majestic Southern Ocean, which last Sunday was not roaring as usually. The almost absent surf lured me to finally immerse in the not too cold —at least in comparison with the Atlantic waters of the north-east coast— water of Torquay beach.
