By this time we have tried almost every form of travel. This day we took another bus tour of the Great Ocean Road, one of the prettiest views of Australia. (And it did not disappoint us!) We rode along the southern beach on the west side of Port Phillip. This is where most of the surfing competitions are held each year. We drove through seaside towns with vacations homes galore. We got to see Koalas in the wild and wild parrots. The parrots ate right out of our hands. When we got to the southern most point of Australia we took a inland route to a rain forest. The trees were huge and the ferns as tall as a house. Beautiful!! We then ate lunch at a small cafe and then joined the ocean road again. This side was where all the ship wreaks were. In fact it is called Ship Wreak Coast. We also started to see some unusual rock formations like the London Bridge (it fell down a few years ago) and the 12 Apostles. It was breathtaking!! The most beautiful sites we had seen since we've been here! (and we have seen many) Then it was back to Melbourne and catch the train home.
