Great Ocean Road

We drove the Great Ocean Road today - it’s a stretch of road along the southeast section of Australia right on the coast. We were on it about 6 hours. Absolutely beautiful!! Never seen anything like it. Normally I find nothing compares to Oregon beaches, but this was something else. Amazing.

We stopped at many places along the way, but the most famous was the “12 apostles”. There used to be 12 rock formations out in the water, but time and erosion has widdled them down and now there are only 6 or so left. 😢 they were magnificent.

We’ve had a goal - to see a kangaroo, a koala, and cockatoos (all in the wild, not in captivity.) And today we found all three during the drive - a single koala up a tree, a herd of kangaroo, and a FLOCK of yellow crested cockatoos. (My favorite bird!!).
