Thanks to spoilt China kids holidaying in Melb, we got to tag along for a free ride to one of Melb's must-see tourist spots, the Great Ocean Road. Yay us! A bloody 4hour drive from the CBD. Left the City at 4am, drove non-stop till the sun came up. A sight of a lifetime.
At the end of the 'Road', lies one of Australia's famous and familiar "brochure shots", the 12 Apostles. You may remember these shots from various random pictures you might've found scrolling thru Facebook photo albums of people you know who're in Australia, posing and striking the favourite asian "peace signs". 
You always hear how people say that driving down this road is an amazing experience, but nobody ever says how BAD the actual drive is! Early warning to those of you who might consider driving down this "great road".

Picture this, steady speeding at 60km/h then a sudden slowdown to 20km/h around a U bend. Now imagine doing that consecutively for the whole 4hour drive... we got car-sick and nearly threw up in our throats. Blergh.
But at the end of that drive, the view was worth every bit of barf you nearly threw up on.
(Apologies about the shaky hand-cam shot. Winter in Melb = C-C-COL-LD-D!!)
