Apollo Bay

After a very relaxing time in our little log cabin in the woods, we left the Grampians behind and drove to The Great Ocean Road. On our way to Apollo Bay, we stopped at several lookout points to see some of the fabulously sculptured coastline. It reminded us of some parts of southern Oregon, though these formations are made of sandstone rather than rock. Check out the features in the photos below.

Erosion in the Bay of Islands


The Grotto


London Bridge really is falling down.
The left side used to connect to the mainland, but erosion took it.
 
 
The Twelve Apostles -- there are only eight of them left now.

 

Coffee time found us in a little bakery with big treats. This is how to keep Mal happy!

 
It's the Australian version of Tim Hortons!

 

 

Tomorrow we head for Melbourne. We will have three nights in the city before flying to Tasmania.
