I particularly loved going down into the gorge and paddling in the water. An idyllic spot to be shipwrecked but I guess the two lone survivors of the Loch Ard didn't see it that way.
On our second day exploring, unencumbered by the van, we drove back to the Gibson steps and walked on the beach near a couple of the Apostles, where you could feel the majestic cliffs towering over you.
We then braved the unbelievable numbers of tourists at the Apostles. It was like the United Nations, with all the languages being spoken along the busy paths. Not such lovely weather for photos unfortunately.
And I have finally seen a squatting toilet, as the toilet block there had two for the tourists. I had been wondering what they looked like, after all the signs in toilet blocks telling people to sit on the toilet, not stand/squat on it. Another mystery solved :-)
We continued back to our van site in Peterborough, stopping for lunch in Port Campbell, before viewing the last three rocky viewing spots, the Arch, the famous London Bridge and the Grotto. Ben said he was sure the grotto must have been a sacred place.
We pretty much had rock fatigue by then but were glad we visited the grotto because we had a chance encounter with an Echidna, which was wandering about beside the path and getting a lot of attention. It was still there when we came back from seeing the grotto, and it must have been determined to meet Ben as it came right up to him and walked over his foot. I'm glad to say he didn't try to pat it :-)
