Great Ocean Road and the Grampians Tour (Day 2)

Oh. Damn. Getting up early in the morning gets normal. It was six o'clock when my alarm went off. We wanted to be on the road at 7:30 because we had a full day and the nice light for the pictures.

Our first stop was really wet. Essentially so wet that nobody took any pictures. Or I did not see anybody doing so.

Next stop Twelve Apostles again. Hoping for better weather and better light than the evening before. It should not be.

No wonder we got wet at the other spot. Look at the water drifting up the cliff.

Loch Ard was better. We got sunshine and went down to the beach.

Here we finally made our first partial group picture.

Next stop was London Bridge. It was not so long ago a two arched way into the ocean. But a few years ago one part collapsed and the other arch became an island.

On the whole coast the waves were really high that day. Next stop was the Grotto.

Sometimes it is even better to shoot pictures of the tourists.

I really like the colors of the limestone coast, when the sun is shining.

The last stop at the coast was the Bay of Martyrs.

In the afternoon we visited a cultural information center of aborighinis in the Grampians.

It was interesting but we did not have enough time, because we wanted to visit the McKenzie Waterfalls and finally watching the sunset above the Grampians.

The sunset at Reids Lookout was really great and the view was breathtaking.

Just before dinner we even had time to hunt some kangaroos.

BBQ Dinner and a really nice evening where I presented my skydive and bungy videos to an almost impressed audience.
