Great Ocean Road, Australia

The trip from New Zealand to Australia was uneventful. We picked up our rental car and drove to Torquay, Victoria's surfing capital. The beaches were beautiful and the water filled with surfers. We just watched, then continued north on the Great Ocean Road.



We stopped at the Split Point Lighthouse for more spectacular views



Then, on to Cape Otway Point and Lighthouse. On the way to the coast, we came across a few koalas high in the eucalyptus trees and stopped for a few pictures. Later on, we saw dozens of koalas in the trees. They are so cute. Anyway, we made it to the lighthouse and the stunning views. It was incredibly windy but I managed to venture out to the top of the lighthouse, gripping tightly to the handrails all the time.

Continuing along the Great Ocean Road, we stopped at the 12 Apostles. Beautiful scenery and powerful surf, along with high winds. Really spectacular!




Finally, we arrive in Port Fairy where we would spend the night.But first, a walk at the Griffiths Island Reserve, home to a colony of wallabies.
