The Great Ocean Road is pretty much the sight to see in Victoria. The coast line is spectacular! The road itself is not an easy road to travel. It is narrow and full of sharp turns, and idiots who think speeding is a great idea. It's lined with signs that say:
This may just be my all time favourite sign. Although, driving down those narrow windy streets, the need for these signs did cause me a fair bit of anxiety!
We stopped for lunch in a little town past the Twelve Apostles and Loch Ard. There was a small beach nestled between the cliffs where little kids were having swimming lessons. Swimming in the ocean in Victoria is more of an extreme sport than a relaxing activity.
After lunch we drove to Loch Ard to watch the blow hole. Unfortunately, it wasn't blowing. Still, it was ridiculously beautiful.
After Loch Ard, we headed over to the Twelve Apostles, or what's left of them. Seven and a half Apostles. It was a bit hazy out, so we didn't get the full spectacular view.
While the Apostles were pretty impressive, I have to say that I found Loch Ard much more spectacular. Loch Ard is a bit of a ship graveyard. Because of the sharp rocks and intense rips, it is very difficult to navigate in a ship, and many sunk trying to dock. It's just one of the many things that make Australia such an incredible place to call home.
