My 1st Easter Break @ Great Ocean Road

*Ladies & gentlemen, may I present to you... The 12 Apostles!

Where was I on the last post? Oh ya, I just finished the Philip Island and now here you see in the picture above is the one of the Must-See-Spot along the coastal section of The Great Ocean Road. The gallery below are all the pictures taken throughout the entire trip.

Overall the whole trip was kinda too rush as we took about like 5 hours to reach to our destination. That's not all of the worst thing, the even worst part is that we are only spared with little time to appreciate the entire view of the 12 Apostles and other famous spot such as the London Bridge (Not the one in London, it's named after that bridge because it has got resemblance to it). So the entire trip was about sitting inside the bus for few centuries then put you down for that split seconds to look at some rocks and off you go into the bus again and the routine continues until it's time to balik rumah.

Ok, let's put an end to my complaints and have a look at these beautiful pictures below.

*This is what you see along the road to the destination.

*The first stop of this trip (Bare in mind that this picture is taken in an extremely rushing condition).

*This is the best spot for group picture as you can see a bunch of peoples taking turn to take a photo here in this spot.

*Be patient, this will be the last photo before I show you the 12 Apostles. I promise.

*Do not judge the view by it's sign. Apparently there are only 8 left.
(I kept my promise, there you go - Twelve Apostles... XD)

*Wonder why does all this limestone formed along the coastal area of the Great Ocean Road? Let the pro do the explanation to you.

*So are you clear yet? Or you prefer my analogy? I know you do... Let me explain to you.

*Ok, this is my definition of 12 Apostles. Us is the headland and Hui Mynn is the limestone stack =). I am sure you are very clear now.

*....

*"Lonely... I am so Lonely".

*Who knows someday human might need to reside on these limestone?

*The beautiful master piece of Mother's Nature.

*Limestone stack in closer view.

*This photo was taken on the known-to-be the best lookout point of 12 Apostles.

*According to what I understand, erosion rate of limestone base is 2cm per year. In other words, what you see in this picture above might not be the same as the one your greatX10 - grandchildren will be seeing in near future.

*So, let's appreciate it while we still able to.

*Me and a few remaining 12 Apostles.

*I am going to take this back as souvenirs. Anyone interested?

*At this very moment, the wind is blowing unimaginably strong.

*Yes, I am freezing.

*The 5 Bettinans. Oops, we blocked the limestone stacks.

*This one looks better.

*Whistle* "Ok people, get your ass moved now... We are running out of time."
This is what we heard everytime when we were about to move to the next spot (Ok, I know I am a bit exaggerating here but it's roughly in that way. So moral of the story: Don't go to Great Ocean Road ... XD... Joking.)

*Welcome to the second spot... My favourite part throughout the entire trip.

*Some group photo before we head down to the beach.

*To find out about the names of each face, log on to www.facebook.com (duh, that's what facebook for).

*Taken while walking halfway down the stairs.

*This place is worth to be visited for second time.

*Sea water rushing into the secluded bay.

*I am not being repetitive. Nice picture are worth to be shown more than once.

*Me =).

*While I was doing on this post, I really feel like going again. This time by ourselves if possible.

*Here's the scenery at the back of this secluded bay.

*The reason I looked kinda far from the camera is because the wave is rushing to the bay while Kha Liang was trying to take this picture of mine for me.

*Do you feel 70's and 80's is in the air?

*The other side of the secluded bay.

*What is in there?

*-_-".

*There are divider around this portion of limestone as they said it is potentially different. This portion of rock will fall down in anytime.




*However, sometimes rule are really meant to be broken.

*And it is always broken for more than once.

*A group photo.

*The couple seems to take turns to take the camera as if we are like part of the rock =.=".

*"I saw something over there"

*"Hey, I am not joking. I really saw something over there"

*"See, that's tree" =).

*I think this picture is best viewed in this orientation.

*A final picture before heading towards to the other side of the cliff. In other words, almost time to ciaoz.

*This picture is taken on top of the cliff.

*This entire place is so nice no matter where you look at it.

*That's the London Bridge I was talking about. I thinked it's renamed to London Arch.


*Kha Liang's master piece. He waited for so long just to capture this moment.

*So, sis... Does all this pictures makes you feel like going to buy air tickets now? =)

*I know I looked retarded in this picture. Sorry.

So that's roughly how I spent my 1st Easter Break here in Australia. Oh ya, not forgetting the Drunk Saturday. But that day wasn't something special, and I didn't take out my camera on that day to take some shots. So please forgive me for my laziness.

However, if you are interested with the happenings on that night, please kindly visit my facebook profile. Thank you.

P/S: Special credits goes to YiMei Chew for tagging me in your photo album of Easter Break Party. Terima Kasih.

*Finally, I am done with these two posts. Signing out.
