This road along the southern coast of Australia is another claiming to be among the most scenic coastal drives in the world. Judging by the # of pictures we took today, there must be some truth to it.We drove about 140 miles, but with stops all along the way. Some highlights:
- Caught a little of the Ripcurl Pro Surfing competition at Bells Beach (near Torquay, birthplace of Ripcurl and Quicksilver brands)
- "Second breakfast" at the Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie (we couldn't exactly come back later...😉)
- A couple hours playing in mermaid pools and walking a huge stretch of beach with no one else around
- Lorne, fun sculptures and a playground the girls loved
- Saw koalas in the wild. They make funny grunting noises
- King parrots landed on our hands
- Dinner at Apollo Bay
- Amazing coastline and rock formations around Port Campbell: the 12 apostles, the arch, the grotto, and London bridge
- Overnight in Port Campbell and more coastline in the morning.
- Best park we've seen yet in Australia at Warrnambool

| someone offered us a bag of bird seed. next thing we knew there were birds all around us |
 |
| then it got intense. we gave away our bag and said "adios!" to the birds |
 |
| This was from the car while driving. It really was mostly all like this. |
