The Beautiful Ocean Shore
We couldn’t have come to Victoria and not hit one of the most famous coastal drives of the world snaking for 250km along the spectacular unspoilt Victoria’s south-west coastline. I am talking about the obvious Great Ocean Road. This route draw heaps of tourists every year which majority come to admire the legendary Twelve Apostles.
When we reached the look out of this natural landmark I thought there was something wrong …. definitely not my vista, just had an eyetest, not going bonkers yet plus I was sober so what it was? Some of these giant limestone rocks have been eaten away by the power of the sea so they are not 12 anymore as I was expecting it but I think I counted 8 of them.
So how long the one left can sustain it up with the power of the nature? They are eroded at rated of 2 cm each year but whether they are on your travel list overly I would rush up, you never know.

However, there is much more on this coastline to be discovered. Even a drive along the rugged winding coast offer nonetheless magnificent views over the ocean that Chris had to hold me not to stop at every lookout for the inevitable panorama’ snap. Then we came across rough bays great for surfing lovers like Bells Beach, the untouched Otways rainforest, steep cliffs residence to uncountable underwater shipwrecks, the sight of sleepy Koalas on top of the trees and kangaroos on side of the road, so keep your eyes well open as there is a surprise at any corner.
Many will probably do The Great Ocean Road in 3/4 days but we spent 2 weeks wondering around, feeling the vastness space and soaking the beauty of Mother Nature also cause our beloved van, named Milky Way, decided to stop every morning unless she got a big push or jump started, but that is another (annoying for us) story.
