More holiday pics!

This was one of my favourite days in December.

After leaving the farm we drove along the Great Ocean Road, CK and I were both very excited about seeing the magnificence of the sights again. The terences sat in the back seat creating some crazy small person pretend game and paying scant attention to the behest of their parents to admire 'the amazing scenery mostly obscured by scrub before them'.

Until we stopped here. The Blowhole.




For nearly half an hour we stood watching the sea come rolling in along this rock shelf before bursting up over the edge.

I could have stayed longer.


When we got back in the car the childer were suddenly interested and looking out of the windows ;-)



Loch Ard Gorge. A famous spot along the shipwreck coast and one of the places CK has most fond memories of from his first trip. destructoBoy had a great time chasing and dodging the waves as they rolled up the sand.


Until one caught him.


His bravery dissipated just a little.



We drove on to the 12 Apostles and considered each grown-up tying a child to their waist to stop them being blown away!

The upside to such a breeze is it made for great breakers in the sea

Thanks for being my willing victims audience for my holiday debrief.
I hope you enjoy the scenery.

  1. Great place the 12 apostles, they really should rename it since the sea sucked one away... Tell destructaboy he is far braver than I getting up near those smashing waves..
