Mind the gap

Remains of London Bridge (now called London Arch)

Two tourists (un?)lucky tourists have a good story to tell their kids/grandchildren as they had to be rescued by helicopter after the middle part collapsed in January 1990!

Then there were.. just a few left

Great Ocean Road's main attraction: the 12 Apostles. Well , not quite 12 now as the sea eroded those limestone giants. Quite an amazing sight!! On my first trip to the 12 Apostles I treated myself to a helicopter flight and seen from above it is even more breathtaking.

The arch

This arch is located near Loch Ard Gorge, named after the clipper Loch Ard that was wrecked here in 1878.

If you happen to visit the site soon you might not recognise this site as the arch collapsed earlier this month!! Two unconnected rock pillars remain and have been officially named Tom and Eva after the two teenage survivors of the Loch Ard shipwreck.

Artwork

Apologies for not posting yesterday. I came home very late and got punished by Blogger, it wouldn't let me post.

We are still on the Great Ocean Road and still in Apollo Bay where the creative souls of the area meet.

From the http://www.greatoceanroad.org/ website:
Twenty-four sculptures adorn Apollo Bay's Creative Village on the foreshore in the centre of town. Started in 1995, the artworks were created by nine separate artists and range from seats and fountains to decorative sculpture poles. This exhibition provides a permanent exhibition of local artists' work.

Showing the way

What can I say??? I love signs :)

Ocean drive

The Great Ocean Road is a scenic road between Geelong and Warnambool along the Bass Strait that separates the Australian mainland and Tasmania.
