Great Ocean Road

We hired a car in Melbourne and headed for the Great Ocean Road, which is 'one of the greatest coastal drives in the world'. I'd imagined the car I'd drive would be a powerful Lambo or something similar. In reality, it was this rather sporty Nissan Tiida.

Here's a pic of me at the start of the journey looking calm and relaxed in my 'magic' driving shirt

We then set off and it all looked good until I met this sign, which told me to keep to the left. No problem, I thought, just as soon as I work out where the hell the road has gone!



Once I'd found the road again, it was rugged and very much like the ones in a Playstation Game. It was cut into the edge of a cliff and there were more signs than you could hope for at a seance! Just as I'd taken all the signs on board, I almost forgot that you were supposed to avoid the cute koalas. Fortunately, I didn't miss this guy, who thought he was a bit of a stud

He left a very distinctive dent in the bonet, although I don't think it was as large as the sign had promised. After I had scraped him off the road, we eventually reached the Twelve Apostles, which are twelve very famous stack rocks. I left my cat in the car as instructed and headed for the rocks

After a bit of a walk, the '12 Apostles' like like this



As the more observant amongst you will notice, there are only 7 apostles left. That's because a bunch of scouse convicts stole the other five in a speedboat they won on the darts show Bullseye in 1987.
