Pictures


This picture sums up what it's like to be Down Under - huge, spectacular scenery. It's such a pity that it's not yet possible to incorporate the pungent eucalyptus and ocean aromas in a photograph.



Philippa and some of the previously twelve Apostles by 'the Great Ocean'.

Our route from Halls Gap, via a two night stay at Port Fairy, took us along The Great Ocean Road - otherwise known as 'The Great Ocean' and its famous Twelve Apostles. These limestone pinnacles have been battered by The Southern Ocean to such a degree that they are depleted in number, but it doesn't matter because it's such a beautiful coastline, with or without. Humphrey and I travelled along the same road thirty years ago and this time a friendly ozzie tourist volunteered to take the above pic. She was taken aback with the aforementioned fact and appeared to be surprised that we were still standing (let alone smiling), having clearly lived so long.
