ok so i finally got a computer that works....
i went on a trip with a lovely couple from my hostel called sinead and ciaran...got up at 6am!!!after a night out and got on a bus to start our trip on THE GREAT OCEAN ROAD!
it was AMAZING!!!!Its basically a big long road that hugs the coast line for 100's of miles. it was built after WW1 by the soldiers who came home.Fair play 2them because all they had was pick axes and wheelbarrows.So one of the first places we stopped of was called Bells beach...this is the beach where point break was filmed.we also passed the light house where "round the twist" was set!!!!!(have u ever...ever felt like this)The views were so beautiful....but as most of you know i can sleep anywhere and the bus was the quietest place iv been in a month so it was light out for me most of the way...but i did see all the important stuff like the cool tempt rain forest and some wild life koalas and kangaroos!!!we drove all day mostly stopping off at different beaches for some photo op's...i cant explain how magnificent theses places were.So driving along the coat we saw 2 whales.we were told we were very lucky to see them because it wasnt the season for whales!
when we stopped of for lunch we decided to get some fish and chips....the fish we got was called flake!sinead tried to tell me it was shark but i wouldn't believe her...until we asked the bus driver and he said that yes indeed it was shark!!....so yeah i did enjoy my fist bit of shark...i also had some sushi for the first time...but chickened out and just got a tuna rool...im not ready for the raw stuff yet!
so one of our last stop off was called the 12 apostles.its 12 free standing formations out on the coast.but we decided to do it in style and got a helicopter to fly over them!!!it was sooo cool!and i got some excellent photos.after the helicopter we had a very quick walk down to see them again on the ground before we had to run back for the bus.we also went to see "London Bridge" which is another rock that use to be attached to the land and looked like London bridge but one day half of it fell into the sea,and 2 people were stranded on it,when the tv crew helicopter came to rescue them they didnt want to be on tv....because they were on a dirty weekend away and were married....but not to each other...hahaha!!
it was a really good day and when we got back to Melbourne we went to the crown casino to see the fire show outside.these big pillars blowing huge flames into the sky.we were standing pretty far away and could still feel the heat...
