    i had seen all the pictures, watched the documentaries and the like, but nothing could prepare me for the sheer power and beauty of the sea along the great ocean road.

    forces of nature producing weird rock formations, waves that crash onto cliffs... it was better then seeing it on tv thats for sure!

    i always loved geography at school, and learning about erosion and weathering and the like. finally seeing it for real was a great experience!

    Anyone drove along Great Ocean Road knows what I felt.
    Every turn view changed, my breath stopped for a while,my eyes grew wider and wider admiring the bauty of the Ocean.
    Maybe it sounds silly but some tears rolled down my cheek becuase I could feel that immensity and I was enormously happy to be there!!!
    It was as dream coming true, I was afraid of awaking.....I took lots and loots of pics of waves,sand and rocks...all the same and all different one from each other....great memories!!
    Here there are some of my prefered pics of Ocean.
    The last one I stole it from Aussie 75's collection LOL...I love it!!!

    Erosion is what caused the stunning 12 apostles along the Great Ocean Road,and they are continuing to get eroded,not far from now there will be no more '12 apostles' as there are only 10 left.

    Here's a close up shot of the eroded cliffs known simply as the Twelve Apostles along the Great Ocean Road. It takes approximately 4 hours to drive from Melbourne (city) to reach the Twelve Apostles. So be prepared for a long and boring car journey. (Yawn).

    visit the spectacular Great Ocean Road. Driving there is not easy. The road is long and winding (maximum speed allowed = 35 km per hour)! It takes alot of courage and great eyesight to drive along this scenic route. You can see what I mean from the photo below.

    drive along the great ocean road till the shipwreck coast.... If you can choose, try to go there on a stormy day!

    A lot of people will probably tell you that the great ocean road is really winding, narrow and so on.... well, where I live a road like that is considered a straight one... and quite large! Don't be scared... it's not a wide highway, but the last part of the highway from Milan to Genoa is harder than the G.O.R.

    there's a million of pics of the 12 apostoles here on VT: I'm so glad someone choose mine for his own page!!!!! :-)
