The Great Ocean Road

One weekend we went for a ride by the ocean.

All towns there are for the surfers.

-What’s for dinner?
-The one on the left. Or should we have both?

Iluka means “by the sea” in some native language.

Local jungle.

As soon as you step into the forest you can feel damp and chill. We thought it’s going to be a terrible cold night.

But it wasn’t that bad elsewhere.

Possum on the stub and very architectural plants.

Later on we saw a koala above the road.

Very expressive creature.

We have already been at this camp ground.

We walked a couple of kilometres towards the sea.

The beauty with earrings.

Laurius is making dinner.

Low tide. White line a bit further – the birds.

Next morning we continued our trip.

So true 🙂

The story behind this photo is this. My mother was taking a photo of us and didn’t see the wave coming, but we did

Luckily she was able to get away with dry feet.

Posing next to the twelve apostles.

There have been few shipwrecks on these shores.

Road Trip: Adelaide – Melbourne. Day 3.

In the morning of the third day we were not in rush, because we didn’t know when it would be the next time we have a chance to enjoy hot shower and other achievements of civilization. Oh yes, it was freezing at night again. When we were about to leave, we figured out, that we should have left the camping at 10 and it was about 11 already. What’s wrong with you, Australians? You are on holidays and you need to get up so early. Anyway, they let us out and we were rolling further.

The main thing we learnt that day, that slowing down won’t kill you and that power nap can save lives. Another thing we noticed, that the road signs differ in different states. We though we need to collect photos of them, but they pass you so fast when you drive on the highway.

We came to Victoria, where it is absolute must to drive a Great Ocean Road if you’re on the road trip. The road is really amazing – turn after turn, amazing views of the ocean with the nice beaches. However, the weather wasn’t getting any better. It was cool, cloudy and a bit rainy.

Reda took a photo of Luka, who’s taking a photo of Reda…

…how she is taking a photo of a lizard.

Here’s the lizard.

We stopped in the little town to have a lunch.

A couple of sparrows looking to snatch something the car park.

The beach.

If there is something you can climb on, some just has to do that.

Sea-weed-eared rabbit.

Plenty of people in popular places.

One of these places – 12 Apostles. Though, there’s only ten of them left.

We checked in.

I wonder, how they got there…

We started to look for a place to spend a night when it started to get dark. Right after you leave the main road, you understand that road signs don’t lie. We found this beauty nearly in the middle of the road.

Some people hold the sun in their hand, and some…

What a charming face…

We put our tent at the Aire river camping. The place is really good – roaring koalas at night, big spiders in he toilet and other camping fun 🙂

What he might be shooting?

The koala thought it might run away from everybody by climbing the tree. The thing it didn’t realized, the tree was at the bottom of the pitch 🙂
