The Great Ocean Road Victoria AT LAST!!!!

The  journey along the Great Ocean Road lived up to its expectations. The landscape is simply awesome.
The Twelve Apostles are now down to seven.
In the early 19th Century they were called the 'Sow and Piglets' then the more romantic name of the Twelve Apostles were bestowed upon them.
Bloody church is always intervening.
The erosion of the landscape is occurring at the rate of 2cm per year.


Even though the vista of the Twelve Apostles was breathtaking, a horde of Japanese were queuing up to photograph this sign.

I was seventh in line.
This is called London Bridge.  The archway connecting the structures collapsed into the ocean in 1990.
At the time there were two unfortunate tourists trapped on the outer rock. They were eventually rescued but it must have been one hell of an afternoon for them.
The sheer cliff face is over 50 metres high and it is apparent that cracks are already forming for the next collapse.
