Our first stop took
us to ‘The Grampians’, a giant mountain range made up of sandstone ridges. We
drove to some high look-out points and saw some great views.
In the heat, we undertook a short trek to a beautiful waterfall
called ‘Mackenzie Falls’. We stopped to relax for a short while, but quickly
made our way back as the humidity was creating giant rain clouds above us that
were ready to explode any minute.
From ‘The Grampians’ we headed towards the start of the ‘Great
Ocean Road’. The road is a beautiful 243 kilometre drive along the
south-eastern coast of Australia. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t hold out
for us, but that wasn’t going to stop us!
The drive had lots of look-out points to view the stacks and
arches that stood along the rugged coast line, it was a geographers dream.
The
Twelve Apostles created a particularly lovely view.
We continued driving and the lush greenery prevailed as we
drove through the Great Otway National Park. We stopped overnight in Apollo Bay
for a well-deserved rest.
In the morning we continued our drive along the Great Ocean
Road and stopped off at ‘Lorne’ renowned for surfing, so we grabbed a drink,
took a seat in the sun and enjoyed the view, haha!
We even managed to catch a
photo of a wild koala in a tree afterwards.
We then got to visit the lighthouse that appeared in the TV
series ‘Round the Twist’!!
“Have you ever, ever felt this… strange things happen, when
you’re going round the twist!”
We got an obligatory photo next to the ‘Great Ocean Road’
road sign and then it was onto Melbourne for a week for the run up to Christmas
in the sunshine!
