Just a week ago, me and my friends had a good time visiting one of the famous tourist destinations here in Melbourne, Australia. What I would like to share with you today is the ever popular Great Ocean Road.
And so as to give you a short background of this pre-eminent place, " Great Ocean Road is an Australian National Heritage listed 243 kilometres 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." - Source- The Wikipedia- the free encyclopedia
We departed Saturday, February 21, 2015 from Melbourne and we started trekking the road at 5 in the morning. After an hour and a half travelling, we reached our first destination which was the famous Triplet Waterfalls, Everyone of us in the group was mesmerised by the awesome and splendid display of nature on its best. The ever gigantic trees and the rest of the natural habitat of the place enabled us to appreciate further the wonders of creation.
Then we proceeded our trip and finally reached our destination, Apollo Bay and spent the rest of our trip there. Indeed, we experienced a great time savouring the richness of the place. The next day, we had an awesome time appreciating the beauty of the equally popular Twelve Apostles along the Great Ocean Road.
Indeed, if ever one has the chance to visit Victoria then don't forget to include in your trip a visit to the splendid Great Ocean Road.
