OZ E adventure day 1- Day 3

Princetown, Australia


First stop for the night on the way to Adelaide. On a tour with 22 people from various contries and continents.

First stop Bells beach site of the longest surf competition -m Easter week each year. A national Surf Shire

We move on to the Great Ocean Road which is a national monument to Soilders of World War I. It is about 300 Kilometers long, adn was built by about 3000 veterans from WWI.

The Great Ocean Road continues along the Southern Ocean (next stop south is the Antarctic) So I walked in the Southern Ocean today.

We stopped at a caravan park to look at Koalas. They like the gum trees there. Found some of them and some parrots also.

Next I was able to walk in the canapy of a rainforest. The Otway Fly is a suspended walkway in the Otway Rainforest. ( I also had the privilidge [tongue in cheek] of climbing 105 spiral steps up to the top of the tower). Looking down on the fern trees I thought of the bedding plants chicks and hens, but the fern trees were 10 feet tall!!

After checking in for the night and dinner we went to view the 12 apostles. Limestone pillars left by ocean erosion. Originally the Sow and piglets numbered 18. Today 11 are standing. It was very cloudy, and we did not think we would be able to see a sunset, but there was a brilliant red sunset just as we were driving off.
