The Twelve Apostles and the Great Ocean Road of Australia

Image
Our first stop on the Great Ocean Road was the Bay of Islands. Just a short few steps from the car park to some awesome beauty with sandstone rock formations that are isolated out in the ocean to form multiple pillars or multiple islands. They are just gorgeous.  It was a cooler and cloudier start to the day unfortunately. The second stop was the Bay of Martyrs and it was similar to the Bay of Islands and I would skip the Bay of Martyrs if we came through this road the next time.  Our third stop was The Grotto and this was so cool you had to walk 700 m to the stairs or platform and then you had the choice to walk down into The Grotto which I highly recommend. It's so peaceful and serene we had the place to ourselves. Nobody was down there with us and it I could have stayed there longer. It's absolutely a stunning view.  They have since built a rock wall to view from and you can no longer go right into the pools where the ocean surge is up and perhaps because it was danger...
