Great Ocean Road

 The Great Ocean Road is a 243-kilometre  stretch of road along the south-eastern coast of Australia
 The road was built by returned soldiers between 1919 and 1932, and is the world's largest war memorial.
                                             All kind of walkers you will find in this road

 Koalas have soft, wool-like fur that is gray above and white below. Their fur is mostly white on the underside below the neck, and their ears have long white hairs on the tips. The koala resembles a bear, but is actually a marsupial, a special kind of mammal which carries its young in a pouch
                                                      Koalas consume eucalyptus leaves.

  one of the world's most scenic roads through the Great Ocean Road region which covers south-west Victoria and is home to the famous 12 Apostles.
                                                    this is thirteen apostole(me)
 At first glance the Twelve Apostles may not appear to be 12 apostles. From the lookout, you can only see a number of the twelve apostles. The others are located behind the rocky headlands that line the Victoria coastline, or hidden by other rocky outcrops


The Twelve Apostles were formed by erosion of the original coastline. The constant action of the sea on the limestone slowly wore down the rocky cliff, gradually leaving individual rocks. The cliff is still being eroded at a rate of about 2cm each year, and in the future is likely to form more 'Apostles' from the other rocky headlands that line the Victorian coastline.





                                              in the way back we found a few more
                                                       this one with the pram in the back
                                 Well this one looks like eucalyptus leaves are better then weed for him
