My Australia trip.....Fun Fun Fun!!! Day 4

There are a few scenic spots at Warrnambool. A nice beach where horses took bathes was our first stop. A scenic place off the tourist information center.

Next up was the Logan Beach, otherwise known as the Whale watching beach. Too bad the whales dont arrive till June. Nonetheless, the beach is quite an awesome sight and definitely worth the trip with or without the whales.









As we leave Warrnambool, it is with feelings of excitment as we finally embark on the Great Ocean Road. Within 30 mins or so, we arrive at our first place of interest of the Cheese World that of course sell CHEESE!!! There is also some free cheese tasting session. Unfortunately, we miss it by a few minutes!
Our first view of the sea was granted by the Bay of Island. Not sure if it is becuase it is the first site seeing stop or is it really really so beautiful that we felt it is much more beautiful than the 12 Apostles. The scenary was really breath taking and the Mrs and I took a great deal of time to admire the work of nature over here.....



















There are many stops along the great ocean road and many are really under-rated and though not as famous as the 12 Apostles, I think they can rival the beauty of it. Check out some of the photos here (though i think we might have to invest in a better camera or a photo taking lesson!)

















After being overwhelmed by the sights along the way, we reached the famed 12 Apostles. Filled with tourists, we wiggled our way to the front and took in the sights. Somehow or another, we still cannot count 12. seems like some have fallen until not countable anymore! hahaha.... some tour guides were spinning tales that there are hidden Apostles so that is why we would never be able to count to 12. That is a nice try, mate!
















We were seriously distracted and lost track of time indeed. As we rushed through the road, we finally arrive on our wonderful lodging at 6 plus. The wonderful Rayville Boat house offers a nice mansion for us to stay with a fireplace, jacuzzi, balcony and double story comfort.

The Mrs managed to whip up a superb dinner from our quick purchase of groceries. Best meal i had in Australia!!! :)
