Despite a rather heavy thursday night at the pub that doesn't close around the corner, I managed to somehow get ready for 8 to meet the bus. We first of all headed down to Bells Beach, which is the last beach in the movie Point Break, although it's not as they actually filmed on some beach in Portland. Still Bells Beach is pretty much where it all started and the nearby town is home to the likes of Quiksilver and Ripcurl. We then carried on along the Great Ocean Road (which unsurprisingly is a road along the ocean and about 300km long). We stopped somewhere I can't remember to go Koala stopping (unsurprisingly they were all asleep). Then stopped in Apollo Bay for lunch at a rather nice place that did lots of fried seafood very cheap. In the afternoon we visited a rainforest and the Twelve Apostles. The 12 Apostles are giant rock stacks in the sea, although there's now only 8 as the other four over time disappeared/eroded away. We also took in Loch Ard Gorge and the collapsed London Bridge, which when it did collapse and strand some people on the rocks wasn't believed by the locals until about the tenth person reporting it.
