Great Ocean Drive, Victoria, Australia


The amazing & wonder of the creation is present to you in a wild-charming-chilling-thrilling way is this. It's a man-made road/drive beside the Great Ocean which is the only separator of Australia and Antarctica!!! It's going to celebrate a century from its inception in next year (2020).

U can feel the breeze following from Antarctica throughout the drive which is more than 600 km long. If you love hiking, cycling, mounting riding, diving or driving...whatever it is...this is the place to be!!!! So, bring it ON.

This long way journey is suitable in a car and the hiking gadget. It might take several days (2 to 3 days) to touch all the popular attractions. The seasonal impact is high in winter and perfect in summer.

This blog includes mostly photos of the places so far I have visited, still to go! You can get some detailed info about this attraction and the amenities on www.visitgreatoceanroad.org.au.


Torquay

The drive starts from here. It's just after Geelong and gives an exciting bouncy drive towards.


Anglesea


Lorne

Teddy's Lookout








Erskine Falls





Kennet River Koala Walk

It's a place for picnic & camping. A cafe named Kafe Koala can serve you chilled & hot drinks with a break. A glimpse of Koala including red & green parrot taming can be enjoyed on a walkway leads to the forest. 




Apollo Bay


Twelve Apostles: 

This place will never give you to be a bore or clumsy. Named after the Apostles of Jesus which represents nature created 12 rocky brownish standing sculptures. Once arrival, plenty of parking space even in pick season can be useful. There are two viewpoints - Gibson beach viewpoint (approx 2.3 km return walking) and Twelve Apostles (1km return walking). Professional photographers wait here till sunset to have their best shot of the day and even non-professionals (like me) also can have their best too!

Birishiri, Netrokona, Bangladesh

14.01.12   As our country (Bangladesh) is a beauty of nature herself, we have a lot of places here and there to prove that if anyone doubt. Among them, the beauty of Birishiri of Durgapur thana under Netrokona district is one. It stands in both side of river Shomeshwory. The color of the water changes in place to place. During winter season the bank of the river seems to a large desert beside the bluish water of the river. History says that the world’s first ‘Garo’ community of that region went to Dhaka in the earlier of 20 th century (1909) to take the Christian religion and the missionaries of that time came at Birishiri, Durgapur to help the community in every way.  Still there are many symbols of missionaries like as the over 100 year’s old trees and the beautiful church on the hill besides the river. Local political leaders are working for the place to make it a better tourism spot by improving the condition of the roads and transportation. Now it’s ...

We were lucky that we got few restaurant opened and we had our dinner there. And the rest of the night we passed at the station by playing cards and gossiping.

We had to stay at the station till we get the local transport...
