We then left the
Grampians to head to the ‘Shipwreck Coast’ on the Great Ocean Road. On the way
out Sid stopped at the point where there had been a huge landslide the year before.
You could see a huge gap in the trees where everything had fallen.
The first stop on the Great Ocean Road that Sid took us to was a random lookout point that was unknown
to most tourists. It was nice to be back by the ocean again!
We then went to the Bay
of Islands, and after that, the Bay of Martyrs.
Our next stop was London
Bridge, which no longer looked like a bridge as the middle part had collapsed.
Sid told us a story that two people had got stuck on the other side when the middle had
fallen. What they thought was a rescue helicopter was actually a news crew,
and the couple went from waving their arms to get seen and rescued, to trying to hide from them, as they were having an affair. We
decided the moral of the story was to wear balaclavas.
We carried on walking to
Lord Ard Gorge, where we could go right down onto the beach. There were so many
tourists there including two Chinese girls in stilettos! They looked ridiculous trying to walk through the sand. At one point a guy was so busy taking a selfie he didn’t see
the wave coming into the beach so he got soaked.
We walked back up to the bus and Jade and I tried to book
a helicopter ride over the apostles. Sid dropped us off but when we got to the main desk we found out it was closed :( I wasn’t too disappointed, as
I will probably have other chances to fly over the East Coast.
Sid then drove us to
Princetown, where we would stay for the night. Sid, Sarah, Jade and I were
literally the only people who spoke to each other, so we went to a bottleshop and sat outside drinking
together, whilst the rest of the group sat inside being really antisocial. We had a mix of fish and
chips or pizza for dinner and then went to bed.
