Overseas tour Day 99 – Twelve Apostles & Timboon

The tremendous Twelve Apostles day.

Today we could have posted more pictures than we have taken in the last week, such is the beauty of this part of the Great Ocean Road/ Victorian coastline.

Below are the edited highlights of a day of wonder.

First stop was Gibson’s steps and the steep cliff walk down to Gibson beach.

Thank you to Andy’s sponsor….

We were an early visitor to Gibsons beach and managed to get some great photos before the daily arrival of the coach parties from Geelong and Melbourne.

Andy’s first star jump of the day!

London Bridge as was

This was the first time we’ve been back to the Twelve Apostles since 2014 and in that time the once famous London Bridge has in the words of the famous children’s nursery rhyme ‘fallen down’. The ever eroding power of the sea has meant that the ‘bridge’ collapsed into the ocean.

Next stop was the Grotto, an encircled area where the eroding limestone has left small ‘windows’ cut out of the rock looking out to the ocean.

The beast
The views

On to the Bay of Martyrs, the final stop along this section of the Twelve Apostle coastline. More tiny rock faces edging out into the distance.

Seaweed supersized.

With the main ocean stops covered off, we moved in land and the town of Timboon where the offer of whiskey tasting, and ice creams, was too much of a draw.

A day of awe, such amazing scenery, and one that makes you appreciate the wonder and beauty this country offers.
