Hello everyone and thanks for visiting our blog!
Kim and I had a great time on our two week fall break. On the first leg of our journey we rented a car in Adelaide and drove to Melbourne along the Great Ocean Road. It was a spectacular drive and we took in some vast empty beaches, cliffsides by the raging sea, and some wonderful small beachside towns. We aslo did some great hiking, and saw some great coastal scenery with tons of limestone eroded rocks and arches left out in the ocean. The road twists and winds along the ocean for quite a ways, and the beaches and views were amazing. It also goes through the forrested Ottawy area where there are bushy forests and tropical vegetation, which added a nice contrast. The drive was quite long, roughly 600 miles or so. We split it up over four days camping in the towns of Robe, Port Fairy, Apollo Bay, and Torquay which is known as the surfing capital of Australia. Here are a few photos from our trip so far.
