We saw koala bears in overhanging trees along the road. Really neat. Had a traffic jam with everyone stopping to take pictures.
Staying right on the Southern Ocean. tomorrow going for a ride west for about 100 miles to see all the sites along the road.
Head out of the area in a couple days. Will be flying to the outback in Alice Springs. Should be a real change of weather and scenery out there. Later, the happy travelers.
PS. Today we drove more of the Great Ocean Road. Hiked around the 12 Apostles which are really large sandstone colunms on a beach area
12 Apostles from the top
. Walked down a very steep path to be on the beach and see them looking up.Further down the road, you look at them looking down!
Drove to a refuge park and walked more and hiked more. Saw koalas and kangaroos and emus. Emu is a very large bird like an ostrich. They also mooch off the picnic tables like a squirrel! Amazing.
Tomorrow off to the Melbourne airport, but a stop at the kangaroo golf course. Should be interesting. Later,
the travelers.
