The Great Ocean Road, unbeknownst to me at the time, was the beginning of a whole new adventure that would completely change the way I traveled. Anna, a friend I had made during my time in Tasmania picked me up in
Melbourne after I finished up at the Buddhist temple and we started our road trip along a portion of the South Coast of Australia. We had a bit of a late start to the trip and
had to cruise through Torquay, stopping briefly at Bells Beach, and hitting a few other pretty spots on the way. We saw semi wild kangaroos relaxing on the greens at the Anglesea Golf Course and got a beautiful sunset by the lighthouse at Split Point. We spent our first night at Lorne, a place that I'm sad to say we didn't really get to check out.
The drive from Lorne to Apollo Bay the next morning was absolutely spectacular, we were blessed with perfect warm weather, the clear blue sky and shining sun made the transparent shades of blue and green ocean water sparkle.
Framed by towering cliffs and yellow sand, looking out to the endless ocean made me feel insignificant, yet empowered. We could no longer resist the call of the salty sea and stopped at Wye River to frolic in the waves. We saw wild koalas sleeping in tree branches overhead near Kennet River then made our way up to Marriner's Lookout which provided a lovely view of Apollo Bay sprawling beneath us.
