We left Gareth and Sara's at 10am - very thankful for their kind hospitality. we drove 30 mins round Melbourne to visit Pinoat Ct - also known as Ramsey Street from Neighbours! Being in the area was very exciting as it felt as though I was really in the show Neighbours! Unfortunately they were busy shooting so had cordoned off the road. However we did get a few glimpses of the start-including Ashley! The security guy was very nice and took some photos for us!
We headed off west to the Great Ocean Road! We stopped at a info centre and the man was great! Although he said we'd be pushed to do the full road in half a day!
We stopped at Aireys Inlet and walked around the lighthouse which was cool. We stopped to look at the menorial arch. Garth was very hungry by this point :( we drove up to Lorne where we stopped at a supermarket and had a ham sandwich by the beach watching the surfing school and the cockatoos!
The next part of the drive was really beautiful! The cliffs on the left, hills on the right, the winding road with the sunshine breaking over the hills making pillars with the spray coming off the angry waves against the rocks!
We stopped at Kennett River and drove on a dirt track behind a caravan park and saw wild Koalas!!! It took a while to spot one, but once we had we saw lots! (10) it was REALLY COOL!! It really felt like we were in Australia!! We even saw a koala climb down a tree and sleep! So cute!!
Garth drove along the next bit which we kind of bombed because it wasn't costal at this point. We arrived at the 12 Apostles just at sunset (amazing)! It was cloudy and cold, which was a shame but it was a very impressive landscape!!
We took a short drive to Port Campbell and stayed at a nice hostal.
