The Twelve Apostles and the London Bridge

A while later on the Great Ocean Road we came upon the famous Twelve Apostles. These are striking rocks that rise from the ocean. Supposedly there were once twelve, but now there are fewer. From our vantage point you could only see a couple, but the view was still beautiful (as you can see from the first picture below). A little while later we stopped to see the London Bridge, another rock formation naturally formed by the ocean. In the picture below you can see it, but the part that used to attach to the mainland broke off and fell into the ocean in 1990. Now there is just one arch, instead of two. We also did stop to see the Bay of Islands before we finished the day’s travels to stay in Warrnambool for the evening.
