I think we took the second and third photos at Apollo Bay, near where were staying.
The triumvirate.
From the Twelve Apostles, we were going to see Loch Ard Gorge, but it was closed. The arch formation of London Bridge collapsed in 1990 with two tourists stranded who were rescued by helicopter and the remains would be good to see, but it was a good bit
further on.
We stopped at Thunder Caves. I was whacked after walking so far in the hot sun at the Apostles, so I stayed in the car with the a/c running while Phyllis and Kosov visited. It looks pretty good and I kind of wish I'd made the effort.
But the cave was not thundering.
We drove on to Port Campbell, and what a delightful place I knew nothing about.
We wanted icecreams but oddly the ice cream shop was not open on a sunny and warm early Friday afternoon. Such weird things happen in country towns. You just deal with it, and we did and bought ice creams at the supermarket.
For some reason instead of making a U turn for reasons I can't remember, Phyllis diverted into a side street to turn around. I ask you, how heavy is a horse? Well, say 500kg, That's about six to about eight people. Two humans at a time over the bridge please, just to be on the safe side.
And there was a nice small callistemon hedge nearby .
Back at our digs and the tide was low and the seas were easy.
I knew there was a basic place in Apollo Bay where we could buy pizza for dinner but I said nothing and Phyllis found a place for take away by way of the internet. The pizzas had minimal toppings, were expensive and horrible. What we didn't force down was chucked in the rubbish bin in disgust.
HH suggested we could see plenty of kangaroos at the Anglesea golf course on the way home so we diverted a little to see three sleepy kangaroos lying under trees at a distance. We stopped at a services for food on the way home, arriving at about 1.30pm.
Here are a couple of videos Phyllis and Kosov took of Thunder Caves, the entrance and the cave itself. I hope they work for you JayCee.
Oh wow yes. They worked for me. A stunning place.
ReplyDeleteI loved that photo of the three of you too. It looks like it was such a lovely road trip.
