DAY 28 – Sunday 28th April

Picked up at 07.30 this morning to transfer to the 08.00 coach for The Great Ocean Road trip. Long coach drive today, but with numerous stops for photos/comfort breaks. First spectacular view of the day was some of the Twelve Apostles (only 6 or 8 left)!

Driving on to the Razorback :

Moving on further to Shipwreck Bay:

Next was the formation named London Bridge (with the left hand span recently disintegrated):

Lunch was had in Port Campbell, which was known to be the safest harbour for early settlers, due to the high limestone cliffs providing shelter from storms. We were now on the Great Ocean Road built by WW1 survivors in memory of their fallen comrades. Further stop at Cape Otway, and again a bit further on to photograph a mob of Eastern Grey Kangaroos hopping about a field (photo below- roos in distance- you’ll need to take my word for it! ).

Back to hotel just after 8pm after a long, but very interesting day!

Now to do a small bit of repacking in readiness for the homeward flight tomorrow. Arrive back about lunchtime on Tuesday .

Finally, an amusing shot from one of the delicatessen stalls at the Queen Victoria Market yesterday:

Thanks for reading some of these blogs – hope they haven’t been too boring!

  4. It’s been a great holiday, sorry, tour. Our tour director said it wasn’t a holiday and he was right! The challenge now is to fit everything into the suitcases for coming home.
