On day two of our Great Ocean Road explorations we traveled from Apollo Bay to Port Fairy, covering beautiful ocean scenery, as well as rainforest mountains.
The Rainforest Walk
We turned off the road to take a two kilometer walk at Mait’s Rest.
The fern trees were everywhere. The sounds of birds, flies, and bees filled the silence of a dense forest. There were plenty of boardwalks over gullies, streams, and sensitive ground.

The 12 Apostles
After driving through the mountains of the southern tip of Australia, the Great Ocean Road came back to the beach, where we stopped to view the majestic 12 Apostles, a series of independent land structures close to the coastline. A university crew was filming a documentary of the history of Australia at the viewpoint when we arrived. The speaker recorded this:
Just as these rock formations change over time, so do we as people. We are constantly being formed and reformed.
