I decided to go on an organised tour for one day to the Great Ocean Road. It is a really long coastal road built just after the first world war and connects Melbourne with Adelaide. It is truly beautiful and takes you past Belles Beach which is the roughest beach in Australia and is where the surfing championships are held. We went onto a place called 'Koala Cafe' where the trees are full of koala's sleeping or munching on the eucaliptus leaves!! They were so cute. We also saw loads of parrots which were so colourful. Next stop was the lighthouse from the childhood tv programme called 'Round the Twist'!!! What quality viewing that was!!We stopped and had lunch which was nice in a little cafe and then our tour guide called Luke took us to the 12 apostles. They are free standing rocks which have been formed from the cliffs eroding over many years. I decided to pay £25 and went up in a helicopter over the apostles. It was truly amazing and the views were cracking. The flight was so exciting i almost peeed my pants!!! Just one of the best days travelling so far - its an absolute must if you guys come out here!! Well that and neighbours of course!!!
