Melbourne is a magnificent city. There’s a reason it’s been voted ‘World’s Most Liveable City’ for like 76 times in a row – because it’s a kickass town! With graffiti-covered streets around Richmond, Collingwood & Fitzroy (as well as a killer live music scene!) and an abundance of good food, Melbourne is a MUST-SEE city in Australia.
And just down the road – ok about an hour and a half – is the Great Ocean Road! This part of the country is ol’ Bob’s favourite – the iconic surf break of Bells Beach being his absolute idea of heaven. In 1979 Bob won the Bells Classic Surf Competition with a series of lethal overhead chiko rolls and dog-bone laybacks, unbelievable manoeuvres that no-one in Australia had ever seen before. Of course, these are common now in the surf world, but back then Bob’s mix of Texas-Rodeo infused power surfing was a sight to behold. Anyway – the moral of the story (according to ol’ Bob) is: Melbourne and the Great Ocean Road absolutely wipe the fuckin’ floor with wanker-town Sydney…
