Great Ocean Road一日游..
这团的团友还真的并不怎么友善。。
有一对couple在其中一个景点迟了上车。。。
在他们上车的时候。。坐在前面的团友竟然拍起手来。。
很讽刺。。。不用说。。他们当然很paiseh咯。。
弄得我们在接下来得景点都“超级特别”注意时间。。Xp
这一天游蛮累的。。起床要起的早。。路途比较遥远。。
时间很紧凑。。走的路也比较多。。累！！
很晒的一天。。。苍蝇也很多的一天。。>.<
嘻。。想不起这是什么bay。。Xp
Apollo Bay
Twelve Apostles (十二门徒）
The Twelve Apostles are
a collection of natural limestone stacks
standing just off shore in the
Port Campbell National Park,
on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia.
Their proximity to one another has made
the site a popular tourist attraction.
The stacks have been formed by erosion,
and are varying heights and thicknesses.
A number have fallen over entirely as waves
continually erode their bases.
A 50-metre tall Apostle collapsed
on July 3, 2005, leaving eight (Wikipedia).
LOCH ARD GORGE
The gorge is named after the clipper ship Loch Ard,
which ran aground on nearby Muttonbird Island
on 1 JUN 1878 approaching the end of a three-month
journey from England to Melbourne (Wikipedia).
All but two of the fifty-four passengers and crew perished -
Tom Pearce, a ship's apprentice and
Eva Carmichael, an Irishwoman immigrating with her family,
both of whom were 18 years of age.
According to memorials at the site,
Pearce was washed ashore, and rescued Carmichael
from the water after hearing her cries for help.
Pearce then proceeded to climb out of the gorge
to raise the alarm to local pastoralists who immediately
set into plan a rescue attempt (Wikipedia).

The Blowhole panorama 2: The Razorback
Constant wave action, salt laden wind and
changing temperature continue to carve
this magnificent sculptured coast.

The Island Archway
London Arch AKA London Bridge
This stack was formed by a gradual process of erosion,
and until 1990 formed a complete double-span natural bridge.
The arch closest to the shoreline collapsed
unexpectedly on 15 JAN 1990,
leaving two tourists stranded on the outer part:
they were rescued by helicopter.
No one was injured in the event.
Prior to the collapse, the arch was known as London Bridge
because of its similarity to its namesake (Wikipedia).
