Red Parrots
Emu
Don't know the name of this tree.
We then drive back to the Great Ocean Road since there are many visiting stops. The first one is Bay of Islands.
From the Park Information :
"The soft limestone rock of this coast began forming about 10 to 20 million years ago, when this coastline is under the sea. Skeletal remains of marine animals, mostly shellfish and calcium rich algae gathers and were eventually compressed by their weight to form rock layers with differing hardness. As the sea retreated, the rock cracked in a chequerboard pattern, leaving deep vertical joints. At the end of the last Ice Age the sea advanced again, reaching its present level around 6,000 years ago."
Grotto
London Bridge
From the Park Information :
"On the evening of 15 January 1990, the main arch connecting London bridge to the mainland cracked and fell into the sea. Fortunately no one was injured. Two people marooned on the new island were rescued hours later by the helicopture."
Razorback
From the Park Information :
"Constant wave action, salt laden wind and changing temperature continue to carve this magnificent sculptured coast."
And again at the 12 Apostles site.
We then drive to the next town along the Great Ocean Road which is Apollo Bays.
We see the Koala sign along the road together with cars near by, so we join them and are glad that we can see the Koala quite close.
Tonight is another hunting time for the accommodation. Finally we get one at Werribee near Melbourne.
