Torquay 

The centre of surf culture in Victoria.

Erskine Falls

Then we headed inland through the forest stopping off at Anglesea to see the kangaroos graze on the golf course on the way to the Erskine Falls. 

The water plunges 30m into the fern-fringed pool.

Apollo Bay

We stayed overnight at Apollo Bay, 

a small quiet seaside town, 

which does have some good seafood restaurants.

The Shipwreck Coast

stretches for 130kms.  The eroded cliffs and rock formations are hazardous to shipping, but are a major attraction for tourists.

Gibsons Steps lead down onto the beach from the cliff tops.

Twelve Apostles

These amazing gigantic pillars rise up to 65m out of the Southern Ocean.

The limestone cliffs erode at a rate of 2cm a year.

Next stop was Loch Ard Gorge

It's named after the ship, The Loch Ard, which crashed against the rocks and sank here in 1878.

The gorge is very long with a narrow entrance and high walls.

We walked along the headland paths for a closer look at the fantastic rock formations all around.

The Blowhole is connected to the sea by a narrow tunnel.

The waves enter the cavern with a loud roar.

Taking time out to enjoy the wonderful views

London Bridge

It used to be possible to walk across this double-arched formation known as London Bridge.  However in 1990 part of it collapsed into the ocean.

Bay of Islands

Further along the coast to Warrnambool is the Bay of Islands

with more spectacular ocean views

and pretty coastal walks.

After the Great Ocean Road we moved to South Australia to Mount Gambier and Coonawarra.
