open landscape and beautiful scenery is dotted with towns like Lorne or Apollo Bay which ooze with charm and folk lore. Like Lorne – whose annual Pier to Pub swim started several years ago when two guys sitting on the pier having a couple of beers decided they wanted more and dove into the water to swim to Lorne’s pub. The pub celebrated their feat with beers on the house and invited others to join the two the following year promising a free beer if they made it to the pub from the pier. Fast forward – 80,000 people participated last year for the brrrrr that promises a brew!
