The Great Ocean Road

Early start, so we could join the mini bus for a tour along the Great Ocean Road.  You need to see the photos to get an idea of how impressive it was, but we went through Geelong, stopped to watch surfers at Bells Beach, walked along a track which was lined by trees containing wild koalas, saw the lighthouse from 'Round the Twist' (even if it was in the distance), did a rainforest walk, went to the sites of the 12 Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge (on Shipwreck Coast), and saw what's left of London Bridge, i.e. there used to be two arches but one fell into the sea 16 years ago.  Other than that, I slept lots on the bus, for a change.
