One of our long standing plans was to follow the Great Ocean Road. It has stunning views, and it’s very attractive to drive along the coast. It is not typical Australian as this area is often hit by cold stormy weather from Antarctica.
First we visit the Erskine falls, 88m high. More impressive however was the lush moderate climate rainforest in this area. Tree ferns were just like in New Zealand. However everywhere the smell of gum trees, a kind of eucalyptus. Many lorikeets, like parrots, were flying around. Here they were white with a yellow crest, gray with rose, and a red body with blue wings. Magnificent birds.
