Great Ocean Road - Day Four: The Sacred and the Whore
This is the typical postcard view of the Twelve Apostels, which are twelve (didn´t count them) huge rocks close to the coast. It is a nice view, that´s for sure, but there is also this ugly drawback.
It´s a ready-made place for tourists with a huge car park, helicopter flights and an observation platform ...
... which makes this place to the least interesting for me although it was the most famous one on our tour.
Imperial-tourism like Tim used to say.
Don´t get this wrong: I know we are a part of it. Unfortunately. Who do you think shot all these pictures? However, when you look at the people hardly someone takes time to look. The perfect shot with the camera seems to be most important. Two minutes later they are off.
Close to this place there is a site which promises a shipwreck (which exists no longer for 200 years).
It´s a beautiful and rough coast.
There are more than these well-known yellow kangaroo-signs in Australia. Two nice samples you find here.
