We leave the bustling township of Princetown (3 houses & 2 sheds) early & hit the Great Ocean Road. First up, the 12 Apostles quickly followed by Loch Ard Gorge, Broken London Bridge & numerous other viewing sites, all stunning & amazing. Sadly after a succession of stunning views the tourist becomes a bit “oh yeah another view.” I know it’s bad but it is human nature, everything needs to be bigger, louder, taller, and shinier. Perhaps we need more of an Aboriginal view & accept things for what they are or to see things through the eyes of a child & always be impressed. Anyway the Great Ocean Road is for the most part stunning. It is not always on the coast with stretches inland through forests & meadows. This section around the 12 Apostles, has so many stopping & viewing places that it is probably best viewed by motorcycle or air by helicopter. The Great Ocean road is in fact a memorial to those Victorians that lost their lives during the First World War, being built, much by hand, by the returning soldiers. We continue driving & eventually we arrive at our destination for tonight, Port Fairy. In the evening we visit Tower Hill wild life reserve & Koroit.
love & hugs
