Met the bus to the office and switches to the appropriate bus there before setting out on the fourteen hour excursion. It took about an hour before we hit the great ocean road. From there we went through three small towns angleseas, Lorne, and Apollo bay. We stopped and took some breathtaking pictures of the shoreline. We even had lunch provided in Lorne at a beach. Met Nur and her sister from London. They are now living in Sydney and just seeing what else Australia has to offer. Super nice people.
We made it to the otway light house after driving through an eucalyptus forest dense with koala. The views were gorgeous and the lighthouse was erected in 1848 after a few shipwrecks. Grabbed a caramel piece (with chocolate frosting. Oh so good and calorie packed) then made a couple stops to see the koalas and then to the twelve apostles. We had 30 minutes to capture the pics in the daylight before we ventures onward for our 9$ fresh fish and chips and lac ard cove before coming back to the twelve apostles for our sunset viewing.
The fish and chips were quite good (and plentiful) and the lac ard cove was spectacular. In the late 1800s a ship crashed along the shore and two line survivors were swept into the cove complete with 200 foot rock cliffs surrounding the entire thing. The dude was able to climb out and go for help to rescue the lady. Absolutely breathtaking pictures.
We then hurried off back to the twelve apostles where we as a group decided to go down Gibson stairs and watch the sunset through two of the apostles from the beach. It was a gorgeous sunset. Pinks and yellows and oranges.
We then loaded in the bus back to Melbourne which took three hours. Was dropped off right infringe of phills house. Packed my bags. Took a three hour nap and off to the airport for Adelaide.
