There were some interesting signs along this highway. About every 100m or so, there was a sign reminding you that Australians drive on the left-hand side of the road. I'm still puzzled by this sign. Apparently, some quirk of physics in this part of the world makes it possible for a guy on a motorcycle to make parallel skidmarks, as long as he's leaning to the left (presumably because that's the side of the road he's supposed to be driving on). Unfortunately, May is not the tourist season along the Great Ocean Road, so there wasn't enough motorcycle traffic for me to witness this amazing feat.
