Melbourne, Australia The Great Ocean Road

My trip begun in the Whitsundays where it rained for the entire 3 days of my staying so it was time for Plan B since road closures prevented me from getting up to Cairns. There I was days later on a flight into Melbourne Victoria to do one of the world’s greatest coastal drives on this side of Australia. We picked up the Astra at the car rental and begun our 2 day journey clocking our Kilometres at just over 900 Km. It was a new experience driving on the “wrong” side of the road but after a few roundabouts and the assistance of our GPS we found our way and made some very memorable moments. The Great Ocean Road drive begins in Torquay where we witnessed a marvellous sunrise and ended at Port Fairy’s lighthouse. A Koala bear, a Wallaby and heaps of different bird species were some of the wildlife encountered on our drive. The coastal drive is full of lookouts and awesome views of the Victoria Ocean. The highlight of the trip was definitely The Twelve Apostles where the majestic limestone stacks rise up out of the ocean. The Twelve Apostles among other limestone formations, small coastal towns, and miles of beach and windy roads took my breath away.
