Here are some more photos of The Great Ocean Road and the Naracoorte Caves. The road is everything that you have heard of it and more. Totally worth visiting. I think that we got lucky with going in winter. Sure it was cold and really windy but we were also almost the only people there. Some of the attraction of places like these for me is the remoteness of the scenery. It seems that is easier to feel when there are not 200 people looking over your shoulder.

This is just some of the beautiful pictures and places that we saw. It is a great place to study the world and you can almost watch the coastline being shaped by the waves. Soft limestone being eaten away gradually (or not so gradually) by the relentless onslaught from the Antarctic. It was one of the more interesting facts that I learned on that trip. There is nothing breaking the waves between the Antarctic beaches and the Australian shores. The lethal combination of sometimes 30m waves and grit/sand and salt is just eating away the coastline. For us it's great, as some of the rock is stronger than others it carves some great shapes as time goes on.

It is places like that with as few people around that you can almost feel the hand of God on the earth
