Twelve..Er..Ten Apostles???


Finally arrived at Port Campbell..in all our years of studying here in Victoria, we only saw the 12 apostles on postcards and magnets..ha ha! I must say the 'live' view is definitely heaps better and absolutely spectacular!!! Highlights include..Jared getting half-drenched by the waves, and so we had to change his pants, socks and shoes..walking down to the Lord Ard Gorge..savouring the soft, warm sand..admiring the beautiful stalactites..and being awe-struck by the magnificient cliffs and rocks...

The Grotto..a beautiful, 8-metre above sea level rock pool formed by erosion from the powerful waves. Imagine a miniature replica of certain scenes from The Lord Of The Rings or Sinbad movies?

In January 1990, the 'London Bridge' arch connecting to the mainland collapsed and crashed into the ocean, leaving 2 visitors stranded on the newly formed island. Fortunately, nobody was injured and they were rescued by helicopter hours later.

The famous Loch Ard Gorge..In 1878 the Lord Ard shipwrecked along the coast and claimed 49 lives. Only 2 young people survived and were washed ashore. If you look closely, some cliffs appear to resemble layered cheesecake or 'kueh lapis'..ha ha! Maybe God decided to make people (like me) hungry when He made this portion of the earth? Something to ponder about...
