I think this part of the Great Ocean Road should be renamed the Great Mountain Road. Just as I had finished the 40 km climb up to Lavers Hill I met Anton and his wife from Holland who were travelling by tandem bicycle.
They instantly invited me for pancakes at at restaurant near by where we had a nice chat about cycling. Thanks for the treat 
After saying goodbye to the wonderful Dutch couple I enjoyed a long descent into Apollo Bay. The landscape continues to amaze with the green hills and the blue ocean as a perfect backdrop.
Apollo Bay is a tourist town sparkling with life as the week between Christmas and New Year is probably the busiest of the year. I stocked up on food in the supermarket and had a nice break at the beach.
As the wind had died down compared to yesterday I was able to pitch my tent right on the beach. Not a bad spot to camp considering the price of 0$. The Great Ocean Road is great cycling indeed!
