Ahh Bean, that looks like an awesome trip, all coastline highways. What about this Lake Corangamite, that looks a bit interesting as well?

Biggest question, do you have plenty of Starbucks along this route for refreshment stops?

I think that's not far from where they make all the vegemite.

You beat me to that one Rook....hardy-har-har....

Vegemite—is considered as much a part of Australia's heritage as kangaroos and Holden cars. It is made from leftover brewers' yeast extract (a by-product of beer manufacture) and various vegetable and spice additives. It is very dark reddish-brown, almost black, in colour, and one of the richest known sources of Vitamin B. It's thick like peanut butter, it's very salty, and it is definitely an acquired taste. Australian children are brought up on Vegemite from the time they're babies. It is said that Australians travel all over the world with at least one small jar of Vegemite in their luggage, for fear that they will not be able to find it. Dr. Callister invented the first Vegemite spread for the Fred Walker Cheese Company. With its unusual and unique flavor, sales were slow. In 1928 Vegemite was renamed and registered as Parwill in an attempt to boost its sales, but it was only sold as Parwill for a short time in Queensland. The name was withdrawn in 1935, the original name was reinstated and Walker used the success of his processed cheese to launch a new campaign to revive Vegemite. The company launched a 2-year coupon redemption scheme whereby a jar of Vegemite was given away with every purchase of other products in the Fred Walker Cheese Company. Australians tried the product and loved it. Also in 1935, the recipe and manufacturing methods were sold to Kraft Foods, and it has been wholly owned and made by American companies since. In 1939 Vegemite received endorsement from the British Medical Association, which allowed doctors to recommend it as a Vitamin B-rich, nutritionally balanced food for patients. In World War II, soldiers, sailors, and the civilian population of Australia all had Vegemite included in their rations. Soldiers’ Vegemite came in three sizes: seven-pound tins for the platoon, eight-ounce tins for soldiers on the go, and half-ounce rations for behind enemy lines. The main change to the original recipe in recent years has been to reduce the salt content from 10% to 8%. Today, 22.7 million jars of Vegemite are manufactured in Australia every year—that's 235 jars per minute. Vegemite is in nine out of ten pantries in Australia. The name can now be applied jocularly to people, especially children: e.g. Aren't you a clever little Vegemite!
