There is a ferry every hour and we had time to eat a delicious fish n chips at the local restaurant.

A group 5 dolphins followed the ferry :-)

Then we pass at a safely distance one of the most dangerous point for boats: the Bay of Melbourne has a very small neck and the tide creates strong currents and even spirals.

We then arrived and drove to Torquay, home of the surf brand Quicksilver in 1969. There is a surf museum there.

Bells Beach is the surf spot for all the local surfers.

Lorne is the town where the Great Ocean Road starts to follow the coastline. While you drive on the left side of the road, you can enjoy dramatic views of the cliffs and ocean.

9km from Erskine, we went to visit the Erskine Falls. There is a huge truncated trunk at the parking lot.

We then drove until Port Campbell and after a good night sleep and a big fish at the local restaurant, we drove back to see the 12 apostles.

There were actually 9 Apostles visible when we went there and on the 3rd of July 2005, one of the main Apostle collapsed in the sea. So there are only 8 remaining Apostles!

Next to the Twelve Apostles, there are a lot of spectacular view points.

Here is the Loch and Arch Gorge, home of many ship wrecks.

The London Bridge was named after the London Bridge of London because of its previous two archs. In the 1990s, the left arch collapsed.

Here is the amazing Grotto. As you can see, the sky, the sea, the waves, the entrance of grotto and the small lake create dramatic perspective.

Following the main road after Port Campbell, you arrive at the Bay of Martyrs.

And finally, the last but not least of the Great Ocean Road is the Bay of Islands.

After this great journey, we drove back to Torquay and the next day we went to visit the old gold mine town of Ballarat.
