The Great Ocean Road (B100)

Finally I made a road trip along the famous Great Ocean Road in Victoria, one of my awaited highlights of my trip. As I got a free upgrade for the rental car, I even could made it with a quite comfortable vehicle. So I didn’t worry about sleeping in the car again.

The Great Ocean Roads meanders along the beautiful coastline of West Victoria, topped with the amazing Twelve Apostels near Port Campbell. Besides the spectacular shore, the nature surprised myself with the most giant trees I’ve ever seen in my life (in Maits Rest). Near the lighthouse at Cape Otway I’ve spotted a free-living kangaroo at very first time. And in the early morning I was woke up by the noisy cawing of cockatoos.

When I left the B100 behind me and went on my way to Adelaide, I’ve seen some disturbing things in the monotonous countryside too. Dead Kangaroos at the roadside, sometimes only a half carcass left. Huge combine harvester vendors in tiny villages where’s not even a food store. And drive-in liquor shops. Are you serious?!
