Our first stop was at Cheese World, and we ended up buying some local Brie cheese – yum. Then after driving for a while, I questioned if we were even on the GOR because all I could see was dairy farms (hence Cheese World). The road eventually made its way towards the water to The Bay of Islands, which gave us a small preview of what was to come. We did a short walk along the coast (part of the Great Ocean Walk), which lead us down to the beach where we met some fellow Canadians.
The 4 of us joked about how we were all lectured by some lady about our parking jobs. The next major attraction was ‘The Grotto’. I thought it was a really romantic area with an archway forming a window to see the ocean waves and a calm pool of water underneath it. The next attraction was ‘London Bridge’. There used to be two arches that formed the bridge, but back in 1990 the arch closest to the mainland collapsed. All of the formations are really interesting because they are all eroding away slowing year after year, but they also all have the potential of collapsing down into nothing at any time. The next attraction was ‘The Arch’. This one was an impressive formation, although hard to appreciate because the lookout was so high up. Once we passed Port Campbell, the next big attraction is one I have been looking forward to seeing for a while – ‘The Loch Ard Gorge’ There were a few walks along this area, all leading towards something incredible. 
The first lookout was at the ‘Razorback’ which was a massive, thin slice of rock standing alone in a bay. The best lookout was of the gorge from the beach. It is definitely one of my favourite places; it’s too bad so many people know about it. The last area we saw here was called ‘Thunder Cave’. It cut so far into the rock you could not see the end of the cave. We saved the most anticipated attraction for last –‘The Twelve Apostles”. 
There are only 6 remaining of the twelve, and you could actually see where the last one crumbled in 2005. There’s just something about giant rock formations all cut differently and standing alone in the water. Hopefully our pictures have captured something amazing, because I don’t believe all of these ones will still be standing in our lifetime. We ended our evening by heading down ‘Gibsons Steps’ to the beach and walked up and down the super soft sand before setting up camp at Johanna in the Otways National Park.
