The twelve apostles
... to stop and a lot would crash into the shore. We caught the twelve apostles at sunset, we took pictures from the viewing point then made it down to the beach. The views were amazing, I was really impressed and a little speechless.
Next day we were up early and repeated the journey back to Melbourne, seeing the lovely sights but the other way round. We stopped for lunch in Lorne and spent a few hours again on the beach, had ...

Looking down at the forest floor, like so many other places we’d seen in Australia, there was a real Jurassic Park feel, especially with the large Ferns.
