Great Ocean Road continued

Had a fantastic day revisiting the Western end of the Great Ocean Road today. Started grey and cloudy. Then the sun broke through to a lovely day

We started going down to the beach at Gibson's Steps. We didn't do this when we were here years ago... it was wet and windy. I'm so
pleased we did it this time.

Then, just up the road to the 12 Apostles.

On to Port Campbell for lunch and a stroll. We stayed in the van park here last time. It's a very pretty spot with a nice swimming beach.

We left our favourite Lock Ard Gorge till last. When we were here last, you could go down steps to the Gorge. These are now closed off as in a dangerous condition. Lock Ard Gorge is the sight of a tragic ship wreck. Only 2 survivors. A young lad and girl. They washed through the narrow entrance to the Gorge and up onto the beach. The young lad climbed the cliffs to find help.

The only downside to this beautiful area is the bus loads of visitors. We are no longer used to crowds. My tolerance for people that block up areas taking 100s of selfies is at all time low. Have become a grumpy old woman.Read more
