Great Ocean Road day 2

Today we set off early again to see the 12  in the first light. There were only ever 10 but there are only 8 left, and 2 of those are stumpy lumps. 


We then went to see several other scenic view points along the road in including the so called London Bridge. Nothing to do with London it seems. The photos would have been great if is wasn't to misty. 


We then ventured off the Great Ocean Road to visit the Grampians. Named by a Scottish man, so in true Australian style he named them after somewhere he knew in Britain. He thought the looked like the Grampians in Scotland. I've never seen them, but I can't image any landscape in Scotland looking much like this! They were very picturesque forests with amazing rock formations. 

We stopped for lunch in an extinct volcano and saw emus and koalas :) 





We scrambled up a small part of the rock to the top and all tok turns taking photos of us at the top of a small pinnacle. Angus, our very own 18 year old stud and his three groupies loved making him pose  on top of the rock for him. So funny and they are all so young and naive. Cheating about a levels and how amazing they are as they are travelling. 



We have stayed overnight in a telly nice lodge, so much nicer that last night!! I'm sharing a room with Natalie who is English, Sophia who is German and Peter who is an enigma from Australia. We have been trying to crack him and make him talk all trip but he is such hard work! He spoke more tonight but is he so funny! We saw loads of kangaroos today too and there are loads around the lodge. If it hadn't been in a massive bush fire the place would be beautiful in sure. Was very lucky that it survived!
