Great ocean road

Hmmm Hmmm, the great ocean road is just magnificent! i thought its a stretch of road with malls ah, pubs, cinemas or shops or whatsoever at the sides while the seaside with the view is besides it but NO! its not just any stretch of road its a road thats what? 500km?? nah, just a guess, but it well stretches over 3hours of ride!!! so the view outside is thus always good! then during the trip one will pass thru VAST lands of farms!! farming here strangely dun seem inferior and its just great.. green land, nice clouds, cooling air, cows and sheeps. theres so much interesting things abt the farms.

On way back right.. on many occasions can see cows queuing up to be milked, not anyhow Q up ah, its with order and discipline!! one after another, one after another, straight line somemore leh!! and i din know that theres 3 kinda cows, black-and-white patch ones r the milk bearers, brown r the for-cheese-use milk bearers, while the black cows r killed 4 meat. just amazing and even the letter box r diff. if ur letter box is that of a milk pail, u rear cows, if its a barrel, u plant grass. then one will ask "GROW GRASS 4 WAT? EVERYWHERE GOT WAH!" totally wrong man.. the grass they grow 1-2metres one, then bundle tgt is for export purposes. kinda like rolled up carpets with high grass densities. o~~ the open plains.

The road itself is amazing as said, big waves with millions of die-hard surfers. but the actual spot itself as in the 12apostles sea is unaccessible as its too stiff alr. the sand that formed the apostles is v.strange. when it touches sea water its harder than concrete, when it touches normal water or left to dry, it sandifies, if sandify is a word at all. no wonder so tall stand alone apostles wun fall la.. ok la, one fall liao..

Went with family which is good as we r separated in 2 places for most of the days le now. and this is life isnt it? relaxing and touring the world once in a while. getting close to nature, indulging in sight seeings, breath fresh air.. u know.. so nice..

And yvonne is here!!! hohohohoho.. she go craze arnd with frens to ocean road now le.. im sure she'll be amazed at the sight too man..

One point to note is that for aus, nature sights r really NATURAL! i thought like china SIA, millions of shops arnd selling merchandises and hundreds of ppl asking u need tour bo and whole place cut into sections where individual fees needs be paid to access.. here the 12apostles all those r in the wild! once a small town minutes away with 0 accompanying merchandise for sale. actually not v.good la, got sell better, as a ji nian mah... dun even have postcards too.. haha.. got a few helicopter shops there, bring u go up see see. im sure the view will be even better man.. but my mom and brother, esp my brother even vomited from the bus ride.. so nv go up the killer helicopter which will make one giddy like mad acc. to my dad. nonetheless, one shld really go to the 12apostles!!
