The Great Ocean Road Photo Diary
Friday, May 10, 2013
Even how short this trip was, we still managed to
squeeze in a weekend trip to Melbourne in our itinerary. I thought it would be
like The Amazing Race for us, given we only had 2 days to see the place. But it
turned out to be an "it-feels-like-home" weekend spent with family and
friends.

The view outside the window
The Twelve Apostles lookout
We usually spend 15-30 minutes taking group and selfie shots.
Magnificent indeed. The Twelve Apostles is a collection of limestone stacks off the shore of the Port Campbell National Park by the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia. Their proximity to one another has made the site a popular tourist attraction.
We just can't get enough!
The apostles were formed by erosion: the harsh weather conditions from the Southern Ocean gradually eroded the soft limestone to form caves in the cliffs, which then became arches, which in turn collapsed -- leaving rock stacks up to 45 metres high. (wiki)
The seaside town of Lorne has such charming scenery with a Mediterranean feel to it. Boutiques, galleries, shops, and cafes are just around the corner. We had a stopover to grab a bite, enjoy the park, and did a little basking in the sun before heading home.
*This photo diary is inspired by Patty Laurel's post -- aside from the fact that I have a lot of travel entries to catch up on, and with more trips to come.*
