The Great Ocean Road, Victoria

I hadn't driven along the Great Ocean Road since the early 1980's.  The scenery is spectacular and it was wonderful to re-visit the area.  From cliff tops and amazing rock formations, to forest, to seaside towns.  There was so much variety.

The remaining apostles

London Bridge has fallen down.  It used to span these 2 rock formations.  The tourist signs however still point to London Bridge, and most tourists are probably none the wiser.

A sheltered bay with a narrow opening to the ocean.  This is Loch Ard gorge, when the only 2 survivors of a shipwreck struggled ashore.  Having safely sailed all the way from England, the ship was one day out of Melbourne when it ran aground on this rocky coastline in foggy conditions.

Not such a good view of koalas as you would get in a zoo, but it is so much more rewarding to see them in their natural habitat

Erskine Falls.  A long climb down many steps to the bottom,and an even longer climb back up, but worth the effort

A lovely view across the river from the camp site Apollo Bay.

Apollo Bay townsite.  A very cute little seaside town.

Just outside Lorne, in the hills, there was a little restaurant called QDos.  They had an art gallery with a display of one person's paintings - all faces made of flowers.  These were two of my favourites
