We started on the long road, the Great Ocean Road. Now most people will say that the road begins here but you will see in the next couple of blogs that the main part of the road is from Anglesea to Apollo Bay. We, obviously are coming the other way, we left Port Fairy, drove down through Warrnambool, stopped at the Bay of Islands,(Peterborough), then on to what is left of London Bridge, above, near Port Campbell. As you can see the bridge has fallen! The arch used to be connected to the main land and a few years ago it collapsed...luckily no one was on it at the time...but two people were stranded on the arch until they got lifted off!!!!
This one is called the Arch...mmmmm...wander why!
In a previous blog I mentioned the Loch Ard that sank and the gorge that was named after the ship. The picture above is of the story of the two survivors, and the one below is of the actual gorge. How they climbed out of there is a miracle...how they landed up in the gorge, looking at the rest of the coast in that area is also a miracle.
Then on to the Twelve Apostles...well there are only 8 left and I believe that there was only ever 9, and previously known as the Sow and Piglets. They changes the name for the tourist industry....fun that!!!! As you can see , stilll not the best of weather.
