Great Ocean Road - part 2

Yes, there was no end to the Great Ocean Road, so we're back for the second serving!

London Bridge

Such an old story, actually the bridge kind of fell already - what's remaining of the cliff is an archway, which is slowly crumbling due to the waves.





The Grotto

For a bit cooler closeup scenes, the next stop was at the "Grotto", a smaller an arguably more interesting terrain formation. With the proper angles, it looks like a chinese blue haired lady - or, a chinese soldier from Mulan, according to J.






The Arch

Again, much like the London Bridge, Arch is a formation carved out of the shore within thousands of years. The cool thing is that the arch is intact. Such blue ocean.






Loch Ard Gorge

Another piece of coolness in the middle of otherwise dry sand land. Loch Ard Gorge is a small inland beach of sorts, with the waves hitting through a narrow opening the rocks surrounding the Gorge.







 

 


Sooooooooo cold!

Gibson Steps

The last stop at the Port Campbell end of the journey was Gibson Steps - a beach with Apostle-like upright rock formations. Besides the beach, also the way down to it is of interest - hand-carved in the rock wall by a fellow called Gibson, hence the name.



Steps for two


Aerials for two

The Other Two

Otway Lighthouse and a whole load of Koalas

On the way back, we decided to check out some the foresty spots for wild Koala spotting, along the Otway lighthouse (that was rumored to be next to a World War time bunker construction). 




20 bucks for entrance - Caesar votes.




A Whole load of wild Koalas - they still smell like pee

Back to Melbourne - and wtf on the road

The drive back to Melbourne was again long and winding, with tight and varying road keeping the driver at least partially awake. We also ran into a pretty local natural phenomenon on the way which we haven't encountered so close before: 




Bushfire!
