The 12 Apostles

'Hello POSSUMS!!!!'
Blue Lake in Mt Gambier

The Great Ocean Road is a stretch of coast starting just outside Melbourne and going West for about 200 miles (that's a short distance here!), and along it there are many sights to stop off and have a look at. First of all there was Bell's Beach, a famous surfing beach (as featured on the end of Point Break...but there was no Keanu or Patrick in sight), which actually wasn't that impressive but worth a look I guess. Then there are loads of bays until you come across the '12 Apostles' which are rock formations that have separated from the coast through erosion to form stacks in the water....I guess at one point there were 12 of them and I guess they needed a catchy name for it. Also along the road there is another rock formation called 'London Bridge', which has a little hole in the bottom of it to make it look like a bridge! Unfortunately the weather that went along with it was probably the same as in London, so it meant the drive was a bit more like a jump out of the car take the snap, get back in the car and go! We went on and came across some teeny tiny little places that they referred to as 'towns' and then we found a place called Mt Gambier, which is built at the base of a volcano crater. It was a really nice place and we had a look at the volcano which is a now a lake, and they had this 'sunken' garden where you can go at night and feed possums! We went to go and take a visit and in the quest of trying to take an awesome snap I held out on the little possum a little too long and he grabbed me by the little finger with a look of 'gimme the bread, lady'. I nearly forgot to mention that I made us go to 'CHEESEWORLD' along the way! Their selection of cheeses was NOT impressive! We met some interesting people and saw some interesting things along the Great Ocean Road, that's for sure!
