The Great Ocean Road 3, 4, and 5

We love the Great Ocean Road. Love it. But visiting 5 times in under the year is quite the feat. Instead of blogging about each trip individually you get a shortened version. As always the highlight of every trip is seeing the Koalas at Kennett River. The views are amazing, the rain forests wet and very green and the milk shakes are still just milk shaken up! It has been one of our favourite places to take our guests from overseas.
The Great Ocean Road: Number III
We spent two full days during this trip with Jenny's parents staying one night in Apollo Bay and the second in Port Campbell. It was so nice to take the time to see the sights and we were able to enjoy many bush walks.

The Great Ocean Road: Number IV
John's sister Allyson and her husband Matt came to visit in May. They got to Melbourne on Saturday morning and left Monday morning (no worries though...they went to Fiji, Cairns and the Gold Coast before arriving here). It was a whirlwind trip and it included a quick trip to the Great Ocean Road. We left around 11:30 am and barely made it out to the Twelve Apostles before sunset.

And finally, The Great Ocean Road: Number V
Our last trip was on the 12th of September. Jenny's parents returned with her little sister Kim and husband Chris. It was fun to show them all of the sights along the road and the weather was beautiful for our trip.
