The Great Ocean Road: Feb 12

Today was the first day of an 18 day tour from Melbourne to Darwin.  With a great group, we loaded the bus and headed out for the Great Ocean Road. Built by soldiers who returned home after World War I, the windy road goes along the beautiful coast and has some spectacular sights. Along the way, we stopped for many photos and a short rainforest walk.

Kicking off the Great Ocean Road!
 
 

Beach time!

London Bridge
Apparently it collapsed while 2 people were having a romantic evening. Luckily they survived!



This one is for you Mom :)
 


The trees grow sideways from the wind!

  1. Beautiful photos but you can get rid of the snake!! Were you actually that close to a snake or did you get someone to take the photo for you?
