Friday 21st February - Port Campbell

The weather is sunny and blue skies. Still the wind is a bit on the cool side. It went down to 13.2 and back to 23.5 during the day.

Today we went back down the road to see the 12 Apostles. On the way out vans were lined up to check in, so it looks like the park is filling up for the weekend. We took lots of photos of the coastline and cliffs. There really are some beautiful colours in this limestone coast. We started off at Gibson Steps. There is where you can see me taking photos and Clive taking a photo of me. There are steps that go all the way down to the beach here, but Clive didn't do this. I think if he was by himself he would have.

From here it was onto the 12 Apostles. The car park is on the non-coast side of the road. It's huge, so they must get a few tourists here. The passenger footpath passes under the main road. Its just over a 1km walk and the surface is all bitumen. Too far for me currently even with the walker. So Clive set off to do this while I waited in the car. They do helicopter flights from here too and the two helicopters were certainly doing some business today.

Next stop was Loch Ard Gorge. Clive again went by himself to the Island Archway and also further on to Razorback. Certainly some different formations here. The Razorback has a very narrow top, that appears to being eroded away by weather. One section even had a hole in the top that Clive photographed.
