Great Ocean Road

The first thing my friend suggested to Katie and I to do while in Melbourne was a tour of the Great Ocean Road. We couldn't have asked for a more gorgeous day than the day we got. The drive was picturesque down the coast of Victoria. It reminded me a lot of the bus rides in New Zealand and I'm sad to say that I was a little jaded by the drive. I've done similar excursions in Cairns and New Zealand. The furthest points away from the city (about 3 hours) are the most famous and made the day. This included the 12 Apostles and London Bridge.

There are only 8 of the 12 Apostles still intact

 Back in the day, this area was known for the shipwrecks along this jagged coastline. Lookout points were established all down the Road.

I really like all the stickers on this sign

Other highlights of the trip included feeding birds out of my hand, a delicious lunch at a coastal cafe and stopping at the beach.

All smiles before the bird tried to climb down my shirt

 If you have a day to spend on the GOR, I would recommend it unless you have already done something similar. Australia is a beautiful and scenic county, but the coastlines all start to look the same after 4 months here.

Cheers for now,
