After spending about 35 minutes at Lord Ard Gorge, we proceed to Living On The Edge walk/park. There are actually 3 walking themes here; Geology (location of Island Archway before it collapses on 10th June 2009 and the Razorback), The Wreck (where Loch Ard Gorge is located) and Living On The Edge.
This is the signboard that we saw at the start of Living On The Edge walk. Ohh so Thunder Cave is like 550m away? Sap sap sui la (easy)

Great Ocean Road Day Self-Drive 4: Pee Story, Port Campbell National Park & Trouble Finding Twelve Apostles
So okay, we knew we had made a mistake once we saw ‘Port Campbell’ sign because that’s the town after Twelve Apostle. Very quickly we U-turned. We guessed the ‘Port Campbell National Park’ or ‘Port Campbell Visitor Center’ (couldn’t remember which one because everything was a blur haha) sign we saw earlier is the place because there are no other buildings or signs pointing to Twelve Apostles.
Tsk tsk because I do not want to repeat the same ‘temple sick’ scenario at Siem Reap… in this case ‘apostles sick’ scenario, I didn’t find out any information about Twelve Apostles. Now served us right. LOL
Even when we turned into the car park, we are still in a blur. We asked tourist whether this is the place to view Twelve Apostles. Even though they said yes, we still ask another group just to confirm it. That was how clueless we were. Kekeke
We reached Twelve Apostles car park at 6.06pm.
The long 5 minutes walk to Twelve Apostles.
Can you see the bridge railing in the middle of this photo? That’s the Great Ocean Road and this walkway is an underpass. Now we get it. That’s how we can go to the other side of the road… to the open ocean… to Twelve Apostles!!!

Sorry for the long break in this travelogue. I was busy with work and had to oversee renovation job in my home. I might post something about it later.
As you know from my previous post, I gotta pee really soon. And yet I hang on as I know another town is coming.
Dark clouds is looming nearby.
Rays of hope.

Great Ocean Road Self-Drive Day 4: Anglesea, Aireys Inlet’s Split Point Lighthouse & Lorne
After leaving Lorne (2.15pm), we came to the part of Great Ocean Road where the views were absolutely stunning. The BLUE sea, greenery, crazy rocks formations, cool wind… this part was the best drive of all. My sis drove from Lorne to Apollo Bay (the next town) and poor her, I kept disturbing her with exclamation after exclamation like Look! Wow! Ohmygod! See see! (hahaha)
You will notice some shadows (reflections) in the pictures as they were taken inside the car. Please bear with it. Nope I cannot wind the window all the way down as the loud wind noise will be too much to handle.
St. George River (not far from Lorne) @ Great Ocean Road.
I would like to have this view from my house. 🙂
