The Great Ocean Road

We set off from Melbourne along The Great Ocean Road. This road is actually a war memorial which I did not realise. It was built as a memorial but also to provide work for veteran soldiers from the first world war. We learnt the names for the different sections of the road, "the surf coast", "the green strip" and the "Shripwreck coast".
We first stopped at what looked like not much but it was a pleasant suprise too find lots of friendly (helped by food) Rosellas and King Parrots. The colours of these birds are beautiful and I got to hand feed one! I also saw my second wild Koala here.

After this we went on to the 12 Apostles and to Loch Ard gorge followed by a short rainforest walk which smelt great (eucalyptus). We finished our day in Port Campbell.Læs mere
