Aah...The Great Ocean Road and the healing sea.

We said goodbye to Melbourne this morning as we headed out towards Geelong and the Great Ocean Road.

What we SHOULD have done was taken the ferry from Portsea and we wouldn't have had to go by freeway to Geelong.  Ah well, this is what I call 'experience'100_9217

This is not an optical illusion.  The trees REALLY DID grow on a lean from the winds that come up from the south.

 

 

The Great Ocean Road is Victoria's pearl.  The lush green forest that rolls down the mountain side to meet up with the great blue sea of Bass Strait.  It truly is magnificent.  None of the pictures I've taken can truly explain the beauty of it all.

(Later I came to realize that there are quite a few lighthouses along this end of Australia through the Bass Strait.)

 

 

 

We're staying overnight at a small caravan park at Otway's Forest.  Tomorrow, we're off to the Twelve Apostles.  But before the night fell, we heard a noise in the tree and this is what greeted us, as we parked under HIS tree.
