Great Ocean Road: Catch Sunset at the Twelve Apostles

    A tour of the Great Ocean Road is incomplete without catching a sunset at the Twelve Apostles, yet almost none of the day tours from Melbourne include it in their itineraries. One tour that does is the superb 2-day Great Ocean Road tour run by Ride Tours. In addition to getting to witness an amazing sunset, an experience which is heightened by a cold beer or a good Australian wine, you also will see the parade of Little Penguins returning from the sea at dusk to their beachside burrows.

    This is the gate way to Great Ocean Road.

    The sign just behind me is the starting point to a breathtaking view of the coastal road.
    We are going to climb up the "Great Ocean Road" gate to have a pic.

    Our 1st stop was Bells Beach which is a world famous surf beach. It was very cold in winter and the wind was very strong. It is a white sandy beach with large ocean swells.

    We stopped over at Apollo Bay to stretch our legs and have a walk around this town.
    We love the trees that were planted here and the clear blue sky.

    The four-hour drive is worth when you see this landscape.
    I think the best way to describe the Great Ocean Rd is by see the photo.

    The signs may be placed elsewhere but the Great Ocean Road begins at Torquay, where the road starts to follow the coastline.

    What will eventually become two "apostles" in all likelihood. The whole process of erosion along this stretch of coast is pretty interesting, what's there now is only a snapshot of the seas' slow progress in burrowing away at the coastline.

    Because of nature these spectular rocks were formed. Limestone eroded forming cliffs and when they collapsed the rock island were left which are called the 12 Apostles. The most amazing seenery around the Great Ocean Road, plenty of opportunity to stop and take photographs. A viewing platform ensure you get great photos of the 12 Apostles.
