Great Ocean Road

MT MARTHA
I have spent more hours in a car in the last 24 hours than I have in the past 4 weeks! We went to Frankston to see another Aussie who had holiday in Tahoe last year and then went to Mt. Martha to lay out at the beach. This is our first time at the beach since we've been in Melbourne and it was great. The beach was much smaller than Padre and had a sort of grainy brown sand. Meagan described it as the texture of Malt-o-Meal... the water was very blue, but no waves because it is a bay. Andy got the worst splotchy sunburn on his feet and ankles... it was so red that it puts most of my past sunburns to shame! Meagan and I laid out like champs... no sunburn and just a slight shade darker. We're representing the white people of America wonderfully!
This is a picture of the obsurd amount of french fries "chips" that Meagan and I were served at a Fish and Chips shop in Mt. Martha!

APOLLO BAY
We headed back into town and an hour and a half later we were back at our apartment speed dressing for Apollo Bay. Andy drove us (once again) 3+ hours through a windy-twisty forest road cut into the mountain. We arrived at Apollo Bay just after 10pm (only slightly carsick). Apparently a common thing to do here is rent a half a house and attach a trailer to it... forming a two bedroom "house." The guys and Rachael had already started the party but we all went to a bar that night and after causing a ton of commotion in the park, finally went to sleep!

12 APOSTLES
We got up early to head out for the Great Ocean Road... the twistiest road you've ever driven... Meagan and I were both carsick but the scenery was unforgettable. (Dad and Mom, it reminded me of the Road to Hanah in Hawaii.) I took pics of Apostles that were left... AMAZING. If you're not familiar with the 12 Apostles, these giant rock stacks are located in Port Campbell National Park. The forces of nature (Southern Ocean and wind) gradually eroded the softer limestone, forming caves in the cliffs which became arches and when they collapsed, rock islands as high as 45 metres were left isolated from the shore. A 1 1/2 hour ride back to Trev's followed by a 3 hour drive home put both Meagan and I to sleep! Thank goodness because that's better than throwing up in the car!!
Thanks Andy for taking us to see the 12 Apostles, one of the world's most famous natural wonders!
