Hi
I am planning a vacation in Australia in January and would be grateful for your advice re: best beaches in the Melbourne area. There is a lot of information in the web, but I'd love to hear what the locals say...Basically the choice is between staying on the Mornington Peninsula or somewhere on the Great Ocean Road (Apollo Bay? Lorne? Queenscliff?) for 6 days. The idea is to stay in one hotel close to the beach and explore the surrounding area. I am not keen to surf, so the calmer the waters - the better. Any advice is welcome <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
Many thanks!
