Great Ocean Road II

Over Australia Day weekend Reid and I headed down the Great Ocean Road. Here are a few snap shots from the trip

Traffic was pretty heavy on the way down so we stopped a plenty of lookouts to stretch our legs

We also visited the Otway Fly. I have been there before with Mum and Dad but it was pouring with rain and that created quite a different atmosphere - this time the trees didn't seem to capture my attention quite the same



We completed one section of the Great Ocean Walk. I was prepared for an all day adventure - however we completed the return trip in a little over two and a half hours.

Here we are at the car park


The view at the start of the walk was pretty good (Great Ocean-y)

But most of the time it was just scrub


and very windy!


Here we are at the end of the walk


We visited the 12 Apostles and Thunder Cave - again the weather was very calm so not quite as exciting as the last trip

but spectacular nonetheless


and of course it's not a trip in Oz without creepy crawlies







We stayed at a pretty daggy motel in Port Campbell. It had a kettle and toaster - but no cutlery, so if we hadn't bought our own we'd have had trouble buttering our toast!! And the jug was too big to fit under the tap in the sink so we had to fill it up in the bath!! Funny!

It was a nice trip - great to get out and see more of Australia
