Geelong to Warrnambool
A little warmer and less overcast today, but still cool necessitating overcoats and gloves in the open cars. But no rain!
On the road at 9:10 AM, following The Great Open Road, built between 1919 and 1932 as a memorial to the returned service men and women of World War 1.
Great views of the ocean, surfing beaches, forests, small communities and wide open, mostly empty roads.
Breakdown of the day was a blown cylinder head gasket on the Higgins owned, Woodburn driven, 1932 TJ 12/50 Doctor’s coupe. Using parts and tools borrowed from several other drivers, the ancillary parts and the head were removed and replaced, with the new gasket, within 3 hours in a roadside parking lot (photo above).
Your writer’s arthritic hip and shoulder causing great discomfort today, so off to an acupuncturist/massage therapist after dinner.
Total miles for the day: 182

Betting has opened in Vegas as to whether man or machine will survive this trek. Given your last posting, betting is tilting toward machine—barely.
