A 'MUST DO' road trip

Me at Apostles...

12 Apostles

12 Apostles

The 12 Apostles are a collection of natural limestone stacks just off the coast of Port Campbell National Park. This is also on the famous Great Ocean Road drive that is in Victoria, Oz.
The stacks have been formed by erosion. A number of the stacks have started falling so that is why Belinda and I thought its important to go see them while they are still around.
This drive, although it took us about 16 hours to drive only approx. 600kms, is one of the most amazing drives I have seen. I mean I have driven the Vancouver to Red Deer drive which is also one beautiful scenic drive but this was different. The beaches were amazing, the wildlife was everywhere, the waterfalls and hike no more than 10 kms off the main drag..... its was like going from hot sunny beach to deep dark rainforest within 5 minutes. This trip was amazing. If you ever have the chance to do this drive, please do it!! You wont regret it I promise.
