great ocean road
I have missed a few days' diaries because i do not wanna remember or i was just too exhausted to write something. But i have to forget those should be forgotten. I remembered a few days ago i gave her a phone and expressed my love for her but she replied that she had already gotten a boy friend. That night, i suddenly admired for my courage and pouring talkativeness; i got rid of my timidness, even though i suffered insomnia that night but i had no regret. After all, love cannot be compelled. This is my destiny, i am doomed to suffer that. But i have to get through this, i should not be depressed. The truth is that, i really like this girl. Wish her good happiness.
Today, Sven shouted into my room and called me to go to Great Ocean Road. I didn't waste many minutes to rush out with Sven and Brooks. Sven bought a new car a few days ago and he would like to show off himself. Actually it took us more than 2 hours to go there and we had lunch during the way to there. We all had a misunderstanding about the time we would spend on the way! Because Great Ocean Road is really a long way and we spent above 8 hours in the car and about 2 hours outside. But the landscapes really gave me a big surprise. It is so beautiful, the short beaches, the blue sky and sea, the cliffs, the flowers, the grasslands all gave me impressive shock. I really enjoyed these places of interest. But along that road, we got a little lost when we went back home. But finally we make our way home. The darkness could not shift my favorable impression about today excluding the inconstant weather. I remembered that when we drove fast in the darkness, there were no other cars in that kind of countryside road and we saw two kangaroos running in the road and we all cheered cause that was the first time for us to see the kangaroos!
We got at home at about 10 PM. I really enjoyed today. But it was a little pity that my digital camera ran out of battery when we finally found the 12 Apostles. The pictures shoot by my cellphone were not so clear. This was a big pit. But we decided we would go to Great Ocean Road for a second or a third time.
I find some introduction for the Great Ocean Road:
Geelong: 75km (47 miles) SW of Melbourne; Torquay: 94km (58 miles) SW of Melbourne; Port Campbell National Park: 285km (177 miles) SW of Melbourne; Peterborough: 200km (124 miles) SW of Melbourne; Warrnambool: 263km (163 miles) SW of Melbourne.
The Great Ocean Road -- which hugs the coast from Torquay through Anglesea, Lorne, Apollo Bay, Port Campbell, and Peterborough, until it ends at Warrnambool -- is one of Australia's most spectacular drives. The scenery along the 106km (66-mile) route includes huge cliffs, ocean vistas, beaches, rainforests, and some incredible rock formations. The most spectacular section is the 27km (17-mile) stretch between Princeton (the start of Port Campbell National Park) and Peterborough. The settlements along the highway are small, but they offer a number of accommodations choices.
The best way to travel along the Great Ocean Road is to drive yourself at a leisurely pace, stopping wherever your fancy takes you. The main attractions are in the coastal Port Campbell National Park, so don't be surprised if you're not overly impressed until you get there. If you are traveling on to Adelaide, you could stop off for 1 night along the Great Ocean Road and spend another night in the Coorong in South Australia.
