After driving for hours Adam and I found our way to Geelong, which is the start of the Great Ocean Road. We spent 2 days traveling on the road and viewing the sights. The scenery was incredible. The first day we traveled as far as a place called Apolo Bay. We stopped here for the night. In the evening we watched kite surfers on the beach. This sport looks near to impossible.
The next day we drove to several lookouts, including the infamous 12 Apostles. The scenery is very similar to Cape Breton Island, or even Newfoundland. Our plan was to take our time exploring the sights, however we did not know that we were in Australia for fly season. The flies were worse than mosquitoes! The crawled all over us, in our face and mouth. Needless to say we only lasted a few minutes outside, and got through the second part of the road very quick. We stopped the second night in Warnonbool and then drove back to Geelong for our final day in Australia. The road was definitely a highlight of Australia, despite the flies!
