Very dramatic post name but it's just where Chris and I went last weekend to camp. The Great Ocean Road stretches between Melbourne and Adelaide and is quite winding and placed right beside cliffs which plunge down into the ocean for a good part of it until you are directed inland and end up with lots of farmland, black cows and wooly sheep roasting in the sun.
We camped in a place near the small town of Lorne in the Great Otway National Park. It had no electricity but a decent outhouse (if an outhouse can ever be decent) and lots of random birds shrieking at each other until about 1 in the morning. Best part, it was free!
Chris and I went on a walk looking for a waterfall, and instead we encountered an extremely steep hill leading up to a lookout point. Now I am sure you know from my last post how I feel about hills and this one seriously sucked but it really was a spectacular view:

We also came across some cockatoos in Lorne that have the most horrible squawk but are just like in the pet store! Except that they are super ballsy and try to steal your sandwiches and two swooped at my head. I actually felt claw on scalp! Not cool my bird friends.
After our walk up the hill Chris suggested we go and see the Twelve Apostles because they were further down towards Adelaide and we had already come halfway. It was really hot so we didn't stay too long once we got there but they were really beautiful.
Next posts will be on my trip to Thailand.
