The Great Ocean Road

What a drive... WOW! All I can say is ... Wow, speechless, breathless... You drive 200 meters and you stop cause it is a great view which takes your breath away but the trouble is... 200 meters down the road the view gets better and then 200 more meters and it is even better...

124 km today and it took 12 hours...

Why did it take so long... well this is why









This little guy was waving at us!





WOW!

Boy does that ever look like heaven. I love the pictures of the little Koala Bear; Cute as can be.

That is one awesome stretch of highway. Thanks for sharing these wonderful pictures.
