The Great Ocean Road. It was a full bus as the group of 60 international students left Victoria University for the orientation trip to the Great Ocean Road. The"no-worries" vacation started off with the bus breaking down and getting stranded on the highway. Luckily our tour guide Chappy assured us that there were a few minor problems but we'd be on our way soon. An hour and a half later rolled by and after taking pictures on the beautiful beaches we wove our way through the national park. I've never seen scenery like this before, it can't compare to anywhere. We drove to bells beach and then on to Lorne where we learned to catch some waves with the local Aussies. We slapped on our SPF and hit the waves. I surprisingly stood up a couple times and minus the fact of being cold it was great. We headed back to accommodation which consisted of a tent in the middle of a tropical forest. Parquets and tropical birds swarmed our tents as well as towering plants and smoking Germans.
The following day we hit the trail by hiking the Great Otway Ranges in the National Park. We saw Koalas, Kangaroos and stunning coastline views. After lunch we had direction of AFL rules football by a couple of old timers. Ive grown to enjoy the sport more and more, maybe because it's the look of the high cut shorts and singlets.
It's Sunday and after a full day of traveling we've hit the road touring the magnificent beauty of the great ocean road. Driving past the London bridge, the 12 apostles and loch and gorge. Ironically each of these landmarks have been withered away and are on the verge of eroding away. Being able to experience on of the top scenic drives in the world was an accomplishment.
