Spent the Easter weekend at the
Great Ocean Road with my husband and daughter.
We travelled thru the coastal road with several stopovers at the connecting towns such as Torquay, Aireys Inlet, Lorne and Cape Otway.
In
Torquay, we stopped by The Esplanade which has a nice view of the long beach. We also visited the "Surf City", the shopping point of surf enthusiasts. Torquay is famous for its surf beaches.
Aireys Inlet features the Split Point Lighthouse and lovely rock formations down the cliff.
Lorne is a popular place for caravan parking and camping near the
Erskine River.
The
Cape Otway was one of the highlights of our trip. The view of the ocean with the towering iconic lightstation was a beauty.
We stayed the night at
Loch Ard Bed & Breakfast. The property is owned and run by the couple Don & Win Mckenzie, which are two of the most warm and kind people I have ever met. Their guest rooms are generously big and so cozy. The bluestone English-style country house is so beautiful and situated in a very relaxed farmland.
We also met Marsha (one of the house guests), a fellow Filipino and her partner Deck, who is an Irish.
The following morning, we headed to the "not to be missed" attractions of the Great Ocean Road - the 12 Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge. The picturesque view of the ocean plus the rock formations was truly magnificent. The sound of the sea waves and swish of the shrubs made me feel that i'm so close to nature.
GOR's sights and sounds are beyond words.
Two thumbs up! :)

Happy Easter everyone!
