The Great Ocean Views! (Part 1)
And today, we finally move ever nearer to the Great Ocean Road leg of the journey!
Had breakfast and off we zip! The day before, the bus driver told us to throw some salt over our left shoulder because some girls once told him that'd bring good luck. We were hoping for better weather, but I guess all of us forgot to throw salt. Cloudy day AGAIN.
First off, it's Tower Hill. Koalas, Kangaroos and Emus roam free here. We get to Port Campbell for lunch (I had fish and chips but I should have gone cheap and bought stuff at the supermarket) and then we move on to the Great Ocean Road.
Great views of the day include : London Bridge, Grotto, Bay of Martyrs and the Bay of Islands.
London Bridge used to really have a strip of land connecting the rock formation to the mainland. About 10 (or 12 or whatever) years ago, that strip of land actually FELL INTO THE SEA. London Bridge is falling dow... falling down ... falling down!! That's so coincidental it's scary.
Anyways when that strip of land fell, a couple was trapped on the island that is now formed. A rescue mission was sent, they were saved, the whole thing hit headlines. The couple ran away from the media and it was found out that they were actually two separately married people who were supposed to be out on a business trip. Ho ho ho ho. Talk about being caught in a big way!
Further on at Loch Ard Gorge, we get to see the site of a serious shipwreck that ocurred about 100 years ago. There were only 2 survivors of that wreck, a guy and a girl and nope, they never did get together. It's pretty nice place actually.. and there's no real wreck that I could find.
