The Twelve Apostles, our second best scenic stop on our short trip on The Great Ocean Road... Just some quick pictures, I am starting to be tired... I'll need a vacation after this one to recoup *wink*

Worth a stop, I am sorry I did not get up early enough to catch the morning light but... glad I slept in a little bit.

I wanted to take pictures from the beach unfortunately you need to get to it by boat and the sea was a tad too choppy for a beach landing...

As you can see, I did not want to risk my life for the sake of a few images...

So we chartered an helicopter in order to get a view from above (less risky apparently but we needed to provide a name and number just in case and... we tipped the pilot only after landing... BTW I love flying in helicopters however next time... I'll have them take the doors off... but you have to call way in advance for that and this was a spur of the moment thing!)

London Bridge

The twelve apostles...

That 14-24 is just superb

The view from the lookout

Is The Great Ocean Road worth the trip... YES! (More to come)

Excellent stuff. Looking forward to what is further down the road.

Wow!

Stunning pictures! We got very good weather these few days, the sky is blue with a few clouds, sunny and it's perfect for such outing!
Definitely going to catch a heli ride next time I go there

Unfortunately, with the constant battering by the waves, it was inevitable that the Twelve Apostles would eventually erode to the point of collapse. Last I heard, the government was thinking of renaming them Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.
