Melbourne-Tasmania 2017 Part VI

DAY EIGHT


Activity on our first day back in Melbourne from Tassie: Great Ocean Road Tour!!! We booked a one-day reverse tour & meeting time was at 7.15am! Tour was expected to end at 9plus in the night, so yes another long day ahead!


Because it was a reverse tour, we travelled inland for the front parts of the trip, with several pit stops along the way. R really enjoyed the history lessons from our tour guide, while I mostly zoned out/dozed off here and there.


This is where we started our real trip along GOR - The London Bridge!






Then our midpoint stop was at Port Campbell town, where we had our sandwich lunch~






Next stop at Loch Ard Gorge! There were 3 walks in total and we went to all! First up, the beach!








Tom & Eva lookout!










& finally the Razorback.









The views were truly gorgeous. Just imaging how the waves shaped all these magnificent landscapes. 





& then the much famed twelve apostles!! How charming.











Next stop was Mait's Rest rainforest walk for a different type of view! Was super cooling in the rainforest. :)







keke & the tour guide made time for an ice cream stop along the way. We tried a chocolate and chestnut flavoured ice cream, I loved the chestnut one!!


Soon skies were darkening and we drove on full speed back towards the city, hoping to get more stopovers along the way. Caught this view at a random stopover along the roads! 



Quickly proceeded towards Kennett River area to visit some koalas! Lucky us, we got to see a wild koala up close having its meal!




And our final stop before skies darkened was at Teddy's Lookout, I really liked the view from this lookout :D




Then it was another 1 hour + drive back to Torquay for our pizza dinner! Then finally reached back Melbourne at about 9.30pm. 

Very tiring but I'm glad we managed to see a lot along the way and enjoyed ourselves :) A day well spent indeed!
