A sight to never forget!

We woke up casually and hit the road in search of the London Bridge, the 12 Apostles, and Locke Heart Gorge. All of them were absolutely gorgeous. I knew the 12 Apostles were picturesque, but I couldn’t have imagined how picturesque they were. Anddd a ten minute helicopter ride over them was only $150 so we turned around, hopped right back in our car, and hit the next sight.

Towards the end of the Great Ocean Road we stopped at the must see extinct volcano called Tower Hill Wildlife Reserve. We saw kangaroos, wallabies, and emus! One might have confused the parking lot with an emu petting zoo. With all of these giant birds around, what was I going to do but… CHASE THEM! : ) I don’t know why they are not extent yet. Their sporadic run is very impractical. They arch backwards, but stick their heads out; it’s very weird. Mother Nature’s ways… we’ll never understand them.

That night we camped in Port Fairy and rolled up after all the camp sites were closed. The big question was should we sneak into a campsite and leave early in the morning or camping in the “no overnight parking” beach lot. After talking to someone who was paying $50 a night to camp we decided to risk it with the beach. We all romantically watched the sun set on the beach and then started our nightly routine of drinking. We started with games and ended with singing on the hood of the car. All in all, it was a great night!
