Great Ocean Road

Our first day in Melbourne we took a Great Ocean Road tour. Soldiers that came back from World War I built the Great Ocean Road. There is a memorial there for those who built the road as well as their mates who did not make it back. It was built to connect all the beach towns along the coast.

While on our tour, we got to feed the birds. Once again, they flew all over you and ate out of our hands. They would swoop in and bump the other birds off of our hands. It was really fun & they were beautiful birds. The best part of the birds—Cortney’s hair was covered in poop. Yes, this would be funny in it’s self, but I think it was payback for her harsh laughter and making fun of me while I was at Currumbin.

We also saw gorgeous rock sculptures created by the water; the 12 Apostles and the London Bridge. The twelve apostles are not all standing and you could see the ones that have fallen. The London Bridge used to go all the way out until the center part broke while people were out on the outer part. The waves were beautiful and all the rock sculptures were lovely.
