    I recently posted a yarn about my successful 2006 walk on the Great Ocean Walk and down the Great Ocean Road, in which I mentioned a less-successful 2003 wander. This is that 2003 wander.

    If you want to read the two in succession, here is the link to the 2006 story again:

    Sun, rain, beauty, and creepy talkative trees on the Great Ocean Walk at the end of its first year. Featuring a loo with a view on Christmas Day at the aptly named Devils Kitchen campsite.

    The end of the road trip?

    The culture of 'the drive' requires sisyphean road maintenance, especially in a climate emergency.

    Mobile sprawl as a form of 'recreation' eliminates the landscape. It is the annihilation of space and time. Motorists want to get from their door to the spectacle in the fastest way possible. The 'in-between space' viewed through the car window vanishes.

    The pleasure cruise from A to B does not just degrade the landscape, but also eradicates possibilities of a livable planet. The overuse by the masses in their fossil fuel boxes makes the hillsides crumble, leads to landslides and erosion. After flash flooding, drought and heatwaves the roads have to be rebuilt over and over again.

    Here are three cases of 'scenic drives':
    California, Victoria and NSW

    Extreme weather is changing California. These road trips show how
