Today I started on a three day trip along the Great Ocean Road and into the Grampian National Park. I an on a bus of 22 with a mixture of a few older couples but mainly lone travellers my age and younger. It seems like a really good mix of people and have met some really nice ones.
The Great Ocean Toad is about 270km running along the coast somewhere between Melbourne and Adelaide. Today started off as a chilly cloudy day which got exasperated my the smoke from the forest fires. We stopped at a place called Torquay which was pretty stinky of smoke. It was full of surf shops and as a girl I met called Natalie said, looked very 1990s. We went to a couple of beaches but they were pretty un remarkable in the cloud. Then the road started!
The road was spectacular and very windy! After a few more unnecessary stops we went into a national park where the sun came outand saw koalas! In trees and walking across the road!
We then got back on the road and stopped at so many beautiful places on the road to see the limestone stacks and beaches which all have stories about which person sailed into them and which English person they are named after. So happy the sun came out as it made it totally worth the trip.
