The Great Ocean Road, Part II

Monday, Feb 4, Mt. Gambier, South Australia, 6:30 pm

The first thing to note is that when you cross into South Australia from Victoria, you set your watch back 30 minutes. Not an hour. Half an hour. Strange.

The Great Ocean Road was quite a trip today. Getting my driver to stop channeling his inner Steve McQueen around the twists and turns was a small challenge compared to getting into all the turn-outs in time to see the wonderful formations. The Twelve Apostles were a bit disappointing because they were shrouded in mist--and all 12 aren't available to be seen from the vantage point any way. Hummm. We shall have to buy a post card. The black flies were horrid.

Then a few miles up the road, we stumbled across an area just as spectacular. I can only hope that the photos do it justice.

Tomorrow we do the Limestone Coast in SA and end up in Adelaide. Wed morning we take out on The Ghan through the center of the country.
