Great Ocean Road

I am now in Melbourne where the weather is similar to Spring time at home. It is certainly a lot cooler than in the Northern Territories but there is a welcome freshness in the air. Today I took  a coach trip along the Great Ocean Road. It was a round journey of 600km but definitely worth a visit as the scenery is spectacular.




Our first stop was at Torquay


 We were caught in some traffic due to road works and there in the trees was a koala!

The sun just began tomake an appearance as it was time to move on.

  6. Hi there - what a nice place - I think I should visit!

    I think your tree in Alice is a Jacaranda - although I have not idea why your guide called them what he (she?) did.

    Enjoy the rest of your trip!
