A wonderful last day on the Great Ocean Walk.
We started today at Wreck Beach, again - back down the stairs, but this time turning right (west) we were able to walk the first 2 kms on the beach. Blissful.
Footnote to yesterday. Last night I googled to find out how many steps we climbed down (and back up) to Wreck Beach and came up with 500. Today, on the steps for the third time, I counted them - 393.
The Twelve Apostles (ok, 8) are stunning from any angle but my favourite is our first sighting from 5kms away. We walked out of the bush and up on the rise. And, suddenly there they were. Though we've been walking towards this destination for 4 days, they literally took my breath away. After that, there were vantage points at every turn.
This walking thing is not for everyone. I get it. But if you're ever down this way and fancy that breathtaking moment you can only get on foot, park the car at Princetown, near the Gellibrand River bridge, and walk the last 7.5 kms. Easy to get a ride back. And worth every step.
The pictures tell the story. 'Rien a dire de plus', says The French. Nothing more to say.
Except ... Merci Domi, c'est toujours facile avec toi.
