Travel Diary - Days 4 and 5
Two days spent travelling the Great Ocean Road along the Victorian coastline.
I have wanted to do this for such a long time. And I was not disappointed.
There is one main area near the Twelve Apostles to stop and view both the coastline and the Apostles. Nearby you can opt for a helicopter ride to view it all from the air. We bite the bullet and decide to splurge on the helicopter.
I'm a little nervous when I see it, as it looks so tiny and the pilot looks about 12 years old.

Here we are walking out to the helicopter. Notice how small it is? I mean, you can hardly see the thing behind that kid...oh, I mean the pilot.
All strapped in and microphoned.
Not an ounce of nerves for Miss Rhianna.
The coastline is spectacular. So much better than I even imagined.
And the helicopter ride is thrilling.

You can see how isolated the area is.
The famous 12 Apostles - of which only 8 remain.
The highlight of the trip.
We are already planning another trip there. So, so much fun.

So glad to hear you did the helicopter flight - that would have been awesome. Far too cold and wet and windy the day we went :-(. But we did get to fly over Ulura later on the same trip. There is certainly is something special about seeing these places from the air.
