The west coast drive feels like a long way until we remembered that is the length of 3 states on the east coast. The coast line varies from cliffs to sand hills of all colours and there is always something new to see and learn about. Many of the coastal villages are very pretty with good fishing - yes I did get onto a few the further south we got. The other good thing is that the crocs in the northern waters are replaced by sharks in the southern waters - still plenty of places to swim.
