Apollo Bay to Ballarat will also be a long day as much of the road will be slow going on a twisty minor road over the ranges

Thanks Geoff - is there a better way to go?

Would it be much slower/better driving to go up through Lorne to Geelong then out to Ballarat?

I'm worried that we're trying to fit too much into a short time, and won't get to see everything we want to, but the holiday can't go for too much longer Maybe I'll see if I can swing another day at Robin's house and get to John's a day earlier too.. hmm..

Maybe a trip to the weir wall if time permits

For sure John, I guess we'll play it by ear and see how much time we've got on the day we get there, as I reckon we'll be leaving reasonably early the next day to head down to Warnambool.

After leaving Albury take a short break at Glenrowan and see the Ned Kelly statue & Museum. It is an amazing little (very little) town full of Ned Kelly history

Thanks Ken, will have to see if it's open when we go through
