the great ocean road

January 16th-18th

Here's the winding road along the cliffside--one of the world's most spectacular (and fun) drives.





The anchor is from a shipwreak of the Marie Gabrielle in 1880, one of two wreaks at Moonlight Head and among oodles of others along this stretch of coast. We walked down and up 380 steps to get down to the beach!





The limstone cliffs are at Loch Ard Gorge and the rock formations are the remains of the Twelve Apostles (apparently in this story the apostles are picked off one at a time instead of Jebas - only 7 or so are left.) It's still so pretty!

Totally beautiful! I like how there's not another person or car in site in all the pics you've posted. Just the damo and the nico with Australia all to themselves. :-) It's like your're explorers, discovering a new land. The more I read the more tempted I am to visit so keep the blogs coming.
