Great Ocean Road and the 12... no 11..... wait.... 10 Apostles. 
South Australia was dry and flat to the very end. We crossed the border and only a surveyor would have known the difference.
Wind Farm on the Victorian Coast. This was one of the first, and with 14 windmills it is quite small.
Port Fairy lighthouse. Most of the light houses were built in the mid to late 1800's. The first major act of the state governments working together prior to federation was the management of the light houses.
Kate and the boys at Port Fairy. Callum ended up with sand in his eye. 
Warrnambool
Flagstaff Hill - a replica 1880 port. Good fun and quite low key.
A volunteer dressed as a teacher.
At night there is a sound and light show based on the the 1880 wreck of the Loch Ard. There where only 2 survivors from the 56 people on board. There were many wrecks, but this one captured the public's imagination as the two survivors where a young woman and a young man who spent the night together on a lonely beach.. scandalous!
The Bay of Islands. 
This coastline is know as the shipwreck coast. Over 200 Ships have gone down between Warrnambool and Melbourne.
London Bridge. The joining bridge collapsed in 1990 stranding 2 people out on the island.
The Arch.
Loch Ard Gorge.
The fair maiden and the two suitors.
Mitch at Gibson steps.
An airborne Cal. He actually jumped right over my head.
Who let the dogs out?
The Apostles.
Damper on the fire at Cape Otway.
Station Beach - Cape Otway.
A dinosaur and that guy from Fat Pizza.
The Otway fly
Hard to show but this was a cantilever walkway with a clear 30metre drop below.
The Cape Otway Telegraph station. This was build in the mid 1800's as part of a Telegraph cable link to Tasmania. It was the primary communication link to Tassie.
Cape Otway Lighthouse. Built 1846.
Where's Mitch and Callum.
Blanket Beach. This campsite is only available by ballot - lucky for us someone had failed to turn up for their site so we camped overnight.
The Otway forest. Cold climate rainforest.
Appollo Bay.
The Great Ocean Road between Lorne and Appollo Bay.
Clams
Skink
Koalas are common in Cape Otway. Kept us awake at night... all that grunting and and snorting.. the noisy buggers.
