Melbourne, Australia Day 3 (Part I) - Port Campbell, Twelve Apostle, Loch Ard Gorge and to Geelong 17/05/2012

Melbourne, Australia Day 3 (Part I) - Port Campbell, Twelve Apostle, Loch Ard Gorge and to Geelong 17/05/2012 ~ We missed to look at the Twelve Apostle at a day time because we arrived at Port Campbell at dark hour. So we decided to catch a Sunrise at Twelve apostle early in the morning. We arrived at Port Campbell at 7:30pm and it feels like 10:00pm. We check-in and had shower then hang out at the Hostel dining hall and had a cup of hot tea.

The next morning we got up early in the morning to catch a sunrise at the Twelve Apostle. But i guess we were a bit late. But anyway it was still early morning. The weather is freakin' freezing cold.






We were in awe "wow" position (again) when we saw the Apostle scenery at the first time. Awesome and beautiful. I hardly saw huge cliff type of ocean. So it was amazing for me.

Some of the Twelve Apostle stone formation already collapse. But the new Apostle of the future being formed right now. That is what the board said.

well, the sun is rising, we were there a bit late :(

vandalism . . but i think in a good way :)

Awesome.

We went back to Port Campbell hostel to check-out. Check out time is 10a.m. So we went for a shower and pack our thing and check out. I'll leave with some photos of Port Campbell hostel that i took.

We stopped-by at Port Campbell Town. I love this town (i love small and cute town).  Then we went on mingle around the Supermarket (I send postcards to my Polish and Germans friend here) and also around the town.

When my travel friend made a wrong turn at one junction area, we bumped into this place (just 500M from the town). It's a cozy bluish beach. To our surprise it was just near to Port Campbell hostel :)) and we didn't realised that hehe. So we stopped by for photo session.
