But it's getting very busy now and there always seems to be roadworks going on and it's always got busy traffic...Well...we now have a 'mini me' GOR.
It's from Inverloch to Cape Patterson...When I first heard about this road being just like the GOR (but a little smaller) I thought..but that's a bumpy dirt road...well it was when I was a teenager (35 yrs or more ago)..that was the last time I was on that road.
Well it's a beautiful sealed road now..and nice and quite..and closer to Melbourne than the real GOR...what a bonus!
Todays weather forcast was for a mild and overcast day..the first cloudy day that we've had in ages..but what the heck..I'm gonna check out this new road.
My first stop was for a pic at this giant bird at Gumbuya Park.
Back on the road to the mini GOR....Check out those new mirrors.
After riding for an hour or so I stopped off at the Giant Stump.
And here it is.
Back on the road again...I stopped for a picture of this letterbox.
Back on the road...and hoping that no one is coming up behind me while I take this pic.
Another pic stop at a small town with a funny name.
Fire in the hole!!..I could smell smoke in the air...and see a small fire down in the valley...just burning off I think.
Another letterbox pic...This one's for boxerboy...(he's the worlds biggest Bombers fan)
This road to Inverloch has great views on either side of the road as it follows a high ridge.
I've never seen a sign like this...so I took a pic.
Oooh look...cows...must take a pic....thanks GypsyRR..I thought they were bulls..
More roadside views.
This is a lookout point where you can see the ocean...and that's Inverloch in the far distance.
Back on the road and one more pic stop before Ivnerloch...btw..I've never 'ever' seen a Koala on the road...they live and sleep in trees.
Here we are..Inverloch...it's where I spent many Christmas and school summer holidays when I was very young.
When I was a kid we would stay in a local caravan park and spend all day at the beach..I've even caught my first fish off this pier once with a hand reel.
It was now past lunch time and I was feeling a bit peckish...so I looked for a place in Inverloch to stop at and eat.
Cheers!...wow..Coke in a glass bottle...nice.
I had pancakes with blue Berry's/black Berry's/straw Berry's and ice cream....Yummm-eeeey.
Back down at the beach now and about to ride this great new road..This is the shallow inlet at Inverloch.
It must be a good road for bikes if you get signs like this.
The road follows the coast.
Check it out..
...good road or what! 
There's plenty of nice lookout spots with great views.
Someone should tell this 50yr old (almost) to act his age.
Shame about the overcast weather...What a beautiful coast line.
This is looking back towards Inverloch in the far distance.
The road was as smooth as a baby's bottom...and nice and twisty.
More beautiful beaches.
Look a person.....This is the best that my zoom would do.
There's plenty of spots along the way to stop and relax and look at the views.
I have now reached the end of the mini GOR.....This is the beach at Cape Patterson.
My 8 day ride to Sydney and back last month has squared off my old tires..I'm up to 16,000 klms on these Perelli's..The new Michelin PR 2's are going on next.
Look at the sign guys...This is 'your' beach...why don't you come on over and use it....Those new mirrors do look cool don't they.
Oooh wow...look...a little bit of blue sky.
Back on the road home now..There are koala's and roo's everywhere..all over the road..and I have to keep swerving to miss them... (just kidding)
The last time I took a pic here at this bridge near Phillip Island I was on the K1200R loaner.
One last pic stop....yes it's the giant worm again....Well I had to go right past it on my way home......Cheers....Sorry about there being so many pics.
