I'm delighted that the rain was shortlived as I embarked on my tour along the Great Ocean Road.
Ron was kind enough to drop me in town for my early morning start for the tour - it was quite a way in meeting at the YHA but just one of those things when you have a freebie in terms of accommodation.
The Great Ocean Road is one of the most spectacular ocean drives, taking in surf coast, and eroded rock against a sandy (and hopefully sunny backdrop).
Along the route we stopped off along some gorgeous sandy beaches to really absorb the scenary. The waves were really stunning, and so different to the North of the country.
Around mid morning we stopped off at a lovely rainforest area (Otway Ranges), where we had a chance to look out for the koalas - naturally very shy, and trying to keep well away from the tourists.
(Clever creatures).
We then continued to the main tourist sights, of the Twelve Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge and London Bridge, rock formations that have eroded away from the cliffs.
London Bridge was at one point joined, but collapsed when some unlucky person was walking across it - they had to be rescued by helicopter when the middle fell into the sea.
There are more than twelve apostles, but it is named so, to attract the visitors.I got a bit camera happy, but the landscapes really made it so...such beauty.
