Yes, today we are heading to the Great Ocean Road! This is also my first time visit this spot.

Only if we have time and have flexibility for accommodation, we would have stay at Port Campbell or even further then may have opportunity to watch sunset and sunrise in the morning, and we wouldnt be so rush from one destination to another destination....only if we are allowed with that chance. 

Well, that's the limit of using time sharing travel membership accommodation, we are truly limited!

I always have a bucket list to visit a lavender farm, but still there is none dream come true during this trip. 

We stopped by a botanical garden cafe before arriving in Port Campbell, just to rest a bit during the long drive.

Not applicable to me, well, tea can be a good idea =D

Ice cream is a even better idea~

Journey on Great Ocean Road is challenging because this road is very long, but is up to us to decide where is the end point. 

If we continue driving, we actually could reach Perth, but maybe 2 days later =.=

We reached Port Champbell at noon, no chinese food around so we went to a local cafe instead =)

The french toast is amazingly tasty, while breakfast platter is a bit overpriced.

Dad was like: is just bread....oh well~

Family potrait time!

After lunch, is time to move backward, haha that's my itinerary. Go to the end point we set first, then slowly move backward and stop at the place we want to visit.

First stop is Tom and Eva look out! Why it called Tom and Eva?

" They are named after the two teenage survivors of the wreck of the Loch Ard from 1878.  "

Hopefully, Tom and Eva still here when I come next time...limestone...really hard to tell.

Then this is The two survivor~

Power of nature indeed incredible.. Dad was amazed too, he asked me if there is such natural art in NZ...well I never seen such huge one in NZ but mayb because I haven't discovered yet?

Actually here is the Loch Ard Gorge precinct, two survivors is the main attraction.

Next, we made our move to 12 Apostles, which is really the highlight on Great Ocean Road, most tourists come Great Ocean Road to visit 12 Apostles.

So crowded here! So many ppl here, indeed popular attraction~

However, there are only apostles remains.. I wonder if there will still have 7 apostles left in the future. Some of the limestone had become so short and small.

We continued our road trip back to city, actually time is running fast, it was almost 3pm when we left 12 Apostles, but we need at least 4 hours to drive back.

Finally saw the "so called" lamb and grass field view along Great Ocean Road, huh? You called this many lambs and sheeps? You must be kidding me....you need to go NZ.

We drive really fast and rushing most time, so actually miss out many attraction, my experience is better to stay overnight if wish to visit more spots on Great Ocean Road.

I like this photo at below, like how my dad smile when he saw the view. Dad always busy with his job, it is so relieved to see him can relax during the trip.

Dinner tonight is very simple, and finally meet dad preference. Chinese meal always is the best for him.
