The Places We've Been

Port Campbell (13/12/11 - 14/12/11)

From Port Campbell we visited the Bay of Islands, Bay of Martyrs, the Grotto, London Bridge, the Arch and finally the 12 Apostles.  WOW!!!  What amazing rock formations and scenery.  We loved them all, but the 12 Apostles were definitely a favourite (even though there are no longer 12).  Went back to the 12 Apostles for sunset and to see the little penguins that supposedly come onto the beach each night at sunset.  We waited and waited and waited and got colder and colder and colder....finally 2 penguins came ashore.  Bit less that the 1000 that we were told come in each night WITHOUT fail!  Bit disappointing but at least we saw 2!  Simon LOVED taking photos and even got out the tripod.

Had a great walk the next morning - across the river to a bush track up the hill.  Unfortunately the river was a bit deeper than we thought so Donna had the task of getting wet to get the kids across.  Great view from the lookout though, so all worth it.

The kids loved watching some crazy European backpackers jumping off the jetty into the freezing water and swimming to shore.  Crazy!
