AUSTRALIA: A list of things you may like to do

The Great Ocean Road is a majestically scenic two lane road that goes along the Shipwreck Coast from Torquay to Warnambool. It is one hell of a way to spend a weekend.

Some of the things you will drive past include:

The Twelve Apostles

There are currently nine remaining sandstone pillars sticking out of the water. They look cool, but there has literally never been a time when there was twelve of them.

Occasionally they fall down, and it’s a big deal. In 2015 they discovered another five of them which were about 30 metres below sea level — this was actually a big deal, because sea stacks like these should not be able to last for the thousands of years that they have.

Loch Ard Gorge.

Has a blowhole, WHOOSH!

Waterfalls

The Visit Victoria website has a long list of waterfalls along the Great Ocean Road.
