The Great Ocean Road

Today we met up with my cousin Eric who moved to Melbourne 40+ years ago. He and his wife Teri are showing us around while we’re here. (Teri wasn’t able to join us today because she was volunteering.)

Eric took us on an epic drive along The Great Ocean Road, a 240-kilometre stretch along the south-eastern coast of Australia. At the end of the First World War, returning soldiers needed jobs. Built by hand by more than 3,000 soldiers, it’s a memorial to fellow soldiers who died in the war.

The main attraction along the road is The Twelve Apostles, a series of limestone columns that have been etched out of the cliffs. Further along the coast we visited London Bridge and Razorback. The sites were spectacular but catching up with Eric was even better.Okumaya devam et
