Great Ocean Road Tour
Beaches and Koalas!

31 °C
It was way to early to be decent this morning! I got on the bus with 2 Irish lads from my hostel and we picked up loads of other people in Melbourne.
First stop was Bells Beach - famous surf beach (see the end of Point Blank - actually not the real Bells Beach but you get the idea!). It was ok but quite calm so only 3 surfers!
We then stopped at Lorne which was quite nice, we headed on to Kennet River and walked down a road with wild Koalas in the trees, we fed the wild parrots, they eat out of your hand - so cool!
We then headed to Apollo Bay where we had a gorgeous lunch and went down to the beach. Wow this beach was so nice, I got a bit carried away and got absolutely soaked!
We went for a walk through a temperate rainforest which dried me off. The trees were so huge - we stood inside them!
Onto the 12 Apostles - kind of like the Needles on the Isle of Wight! There are only 8 left now though, one fell down a few months ago! It was really busy and there were tonnes of bloody flies! Ugh! I got some nice photos!
We then went to Loch Ard Gorge which was the most beautiful inlet where a ship from England called the Loch Ard crashed in the 1800s. I got wet again!
London Bridge is falling down! Which it did a few years ago! The arch was quite fascinating but the beach was the most gorgeous sight!
Absolutely knackered by this stage so I fell asleep on the bus and then we stopped for tea in this little town, I had the most amazing noodles! Yum!
I got in about 9.30 pm and stayed chatting with the girls for an hour or so before we went to bed!
