The Great Ocean Drive

Due to Saturday being the day on which all clubs play league cricket in Melbourne, we planned a rest day and a chance to do some sightseeing along Australia's spectacular south coast. The Great Ocean road is basically and invention of the Victoria Tourist Board - but there is no hype when it comes to the actual sights. The 12 Apostles are a group of stacks and arches littering the coastline.

One of the arches, called London Bridge, fell into the sea in 1990, and the resulting bays and geographical features are truly amazing.

After a fish and chip lunch (battered prawns included!), we even managed to go swimming in a Bond-like bay where the water was cool and the sun was hot!

It was a truly relaxing day off and chance to recharge the batteries before the final 3 games.
