Continuing on to the 2nd day of our family week, we decided to drive to The Great Ocean Road. From my house we traveled approximately 266 km for 4 hours, probably more. I took a screen shot of the map, just to show a preview of the roads we traveled.
Zooming out, you can see that it's only a small portion of Australian land. Imagine how big Australia is! That took us almost 5 hours, even with the help of the barge.

Beauchamp Falls Walk

Unfortunately, we weren't able to see the falls. The paths were unstable and it was a 2 hour walk. Even though we wanted to see it, we didn't want to miss the main attraction which is "The Twelve Apostles." We ended up leaving despite driving for almost 2 hours just to reach the falls. (Sighhh)

And now, finally, the main itinerary of the day. The Twelve Apostles! We walked under a bridge to get to the greatest sight of the view.

I took a vast amount of the view because I want to be able to see portions of the magnificent works created by God. I was completely overwhelmed with the amount of wonders Australia has. Just here in Victoria, there are lots and lots of beautiful sights to see. Maybe it was a good choice not to go to another state yet. This is just the beginning of our Australian Travels. Stay tuned for our 2013 Family Week!
