Adelaide to Melbourne: The Great Ocean Road

Before reaching Melbourne, I spent 3 days hitchhiking along the Great Ocean Road. Beautiful coastal scenery that reminded me more of New Zealand than anywhere else on this trip. The Twelve Apostles were the highlight. 

The pleasant beach at Lorne, near the start of the Great Ocean Road.

The bay at sunset, with the pier to the left.

Not a bad little camping spot, just outside of Lorne. 

Lovely coastal scenery near Wye River. 

 
Approaching the first two of the Twelve Apostles. I walked the last 6 km from Princetown.

This beach is reachable via Gibson's steps. 

The view from the beach. 

The Twelve Apostles (or what remains of them) at sunset. 

Rain coming...

Loch Ard Gorge, named after the ship which ran aground here in 1878 with only 2 survivors.

Finally: Melbourne. Summer's long gone, unfortunately.
