Australia's Shipwreck Coast - What a sight!

I took a 3 hour drive out of Melbourne, along The Great Ocean Road yesterday, and the views Shipwreck Coast were absolutely breathtaking - I had to share.


A lookout along the surf coast


The 12 Apostles (8 of the 12, anyway)


It wasn't the clearest day, but the mist added a depth to the "Shipwreck Coast" name.


View to the east of the 12 Apostles


Nice, clean walkways


Amazing surf!




The remaining 4 Apostles


Razorback




London Arch, formerly London Bridge

Haha, thanks, but I'm not so sure about that one ... I lag on the research side of vacationing, but somehow I always manage to catch some nice sights!

That's my hand - I handfed kangaroos at Maru Park.. It was SO cool!





It's against the law to touch a koala... This guy was super sleepy


Wombats are cool too!

No aboriginals either! I saw a scary emu though.

Those damn Aussies filled you full of it. Ask for your money back. You got jipped, [Steve Irwin]that's a Wallabee, not a kangaroo. False advertising!!! Actually they don't let people interact with Kangaroos, they are very temperamental, emphasis on the mental, Kangaroos deliver quite a beat down. Wallabees, not so, that one there is full grown.[Steve Irwin]
