Road Trip: Johanna Beach to Narrawong

We headed for Portland today, via "ALL" of the sights along the way, these included:

The 12 Apostles (amazing to see, however there arnt 12, because some have fallen over, but new apostles are being carved everyday from sea erosion)






Gibson Steps (these are just steps that lead to the beach, im not sure why they are a site seeing attraction?!?!?! We actually drove back fro the apostles to see these)






Loch Ard Gorge (a gorge named after of the clipper ship Loch Ard ran aground on June 1st 1878, many died however some survivors found shelter in the gorge)

The Arch (sorry cant remember to much about the arch, although very similar to London Bridge

London Bridge ( a bridge formed by sea erosion, but unluckily for 2 tourists bk in 1990, the first arch collapsed into the ocean leaving them stranded)




The Grotto (This is the last touristy site, it is a Sink Hole and at Low tide (when we were there, it was a wicked view of the ocean, with a stunning reflection from the pool, the ocean beyond the pool is a little less calm, infact id go as far to say, it was deadly lookin, if you fell in there, you'd be brown bread)

We then only stopped at the The Bay of Martyrs very similar to the twelve apostles, just not as eroded, still very nice scenary.

We decided after vistiting the tourist info center in Portland that we would stay at a free campsite at Narrawong called Sawpitt Picnic Area, highly recommend this place, really well set up, we got a good fire going in fire area, had tea, and guess what, we all got smashed again on goon :)
