Great Ocean Road - Easter Weekend




We spent the Easter weekend travelling down the Great Ocean Road with Grandma Smith who was staying with us for a couple of weeks. The weather was absolutely gorgeous which made the stunning scenery along the coast even more spectacular.


On our first day full day we travelled West from Melbourne to Apollo Bay where we stayed the night. On the way down we had a lovely lunch at Lorne on the beach and we saw a number of koalas in Shrapnel and Sausage Gulleys.


The next day we travelled even further West to give grandma a tour of the rest of the Ocean Road including Cape Otway lighthouse. We went on to see the Twelve Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge, and even managed to get us all paddling in the sea at Port Campbell where we had a picnic lunch.


On the Easter Monday we came back to Melbourne via the forest canopy walk at Otway Fly board walk it was 40 meters above the ground with some great views there was a tower at the end of the walk dad, Joe and I mum couldn't go up because of ella.
