Leaving Apollo Bay in the morning to continue our tour. We hoped to get into Warrnambool, the last town on the Great Ocean Road to watch the whales in the afternoon.
Our first destination in the morning was the Cape Otway's Light station, the oldest surviving lighthouse in mainland Australia since 1848.
The Light station picture as shown in the tour brochure.
As we were mid-way to Cape Otway, I did not believe that there were stray cattle on the road just like back home in Kota Belud or Tambunan.
I decided to abandon our plan to visit the light station and turned back to the main Ocean road after being blocked by so many cattle.
A brief stop at a scenic lookout.
Looking back at where we started.
Beautiful scenery near Port Campbell.
The 12 apostles - the famous sandstone stacks near Port Campbell. This is the icon along the Great Ocean Road.
According to the tourism information, these striking natural sculptures are the result of many thousands of years of erosion. The soft sandstone that makes up this section of the Victorian coastline is disappearing at a rate of 1cm per year.
A picture for remembrance.
Beautiful Great Ocean road!
They called this the London Arch or London Bridge, an amazing natural landscapes along the great Ocean Road.
Arriving in Warrnambool in late afternoon and headed straight to the Logan beach hoping to catch the whales.
Warrnambool is known as “Victoria’s Southern Right Whale Nursery” according to the travel guide book. Each year, around June - September the Southern Right Whales return to Logan bay to give birth to the next generation of these rare creatures.
We were a bit disappointed as no whales were sighted despite staying there for an hour or so. I guessed we were just unlucky. We would come back in the morning.
In the evening, we had our dinner at a small Australian Cafe.
The roasted Lamb was delicious accordingly to my wife.
My BBQ steak was a bit burnt. Overall it was not a bad place to enjoy an Australia Dinner.
