We flew to Melbourne from Sydney and rented a car to drive The great Ocean Road in the state of Victoria. We put another 700 km on a rental car during our 4 day trip to Victoria, one of the southern states of Australia. We drove the great Ocean Road, which is comparable to the Monterrey coast in California. Each turn is a ohhhh and ahhhh with a little “oh man, that was close” thrown in. The big draw is the “Twelve Apostles” (limestone stack formations) and erosion has claimed three of them. It was amazing. On the way we saw Koalas in the trees, kangaroos hopping across the road, rain forest and verdant green hillside with cattle and sheep grazing.
Once we got on the south ocean coast, the scenery was just calling us to play with the cameras. I think an angry sea is far more dramatic than a calm sea. There were intermittent rain showers but the flat light actually brought out the colors more. I hope you enjoy the results.
