The Bay of Martyrs

Our last stop on the Great Ocean Road was the Bay of Martyrs. Like at the other stops, we found amazing water, islands separated from the mainland by erosion, and a glorious beach. This one is not the empty, undisturbed place we found in other places, but it was still great.

Razorback and London Bridge

One the second day of our adventure along the Great Ocean Road, we visited points along the beach as we continued west toward Warrnambool.

A Night on the Road

So, after a long day on the road and see wonderful sights, we arrived at our hotel. It was an interesting place but nice. What you see above is the garage. Our host met us to direct us into the garage. He noted that if we didn't close the door, the kangaroos would come sleep with the cars and they were worried about damage. Not clear what would happen if we just parked outside.

The Twelve Apostles

After our long drive to the sprawling metropolis of Lavers Hill (two restaurants and a general store) to find our hotel, we headed out after a rest to see the 12 Apostles at sunset.

The Great Ocean Road

Between sitting engagements, we took a couple days to drive the Great Ocean Road (GOR). From Wikipedia:

The Great Ocean Road is an Australian National Heritage listed 243 kilometres (151 mi) stretch of road along the south-eastern coast of Australia between the Victorian cities of Torquay and Allansford. Built by returned soldiers between 1919 and 1932 and dedicated to soldiers killed during World War I, the road is the world's largest war memorial. Winding through varying terrain along the coast and providing access to several prominent landmarks, including the Twelve Apostles limestone stack formations, the road is an important tourist attraction in the region.

Here is the first installment about the trip.
