On the third day of the Great Ocean Road we drove to some more scenic points. The first stop was The Arch. It's a beautifully naturally sculpted arch that's 8 meters high. There is a walk way around the area so you get a few different views of the area.
The second stop was the London Bridge. The London Bridge used to actually be 2 bridges, but the first half of the bridge fell. "On the evening of 15 January 1990 the main arch connecting London Bridge to the mainland cracked and fell into the sea. Fortunately no one was injured. Two people marooned on the new island were rescued hours later by helicopter". The area has 4 different view points. Two are very easy to find and the last 2 are a bit more hidden and out of sight.
The third stop was the Grotto, my favourite of the three. When you arrive at the Grotto, there is a long stairway down to sea level where you're met with this beautiful view. The water inside the Grotto was completely still, yet there were huge waves in the ocean. It was a very interesting sight. We went on the perfect day. The sun emphasised the orange of the rock formation which highlighted the blue of the ocean and sky.
After that we went to a cheese factory. It was amazing. We weren't allowed in the actual factory, but there was a shop next to it where we had a cheese tasting of all the cheeses they made locally. We then ordered this cheese platter. It was delicious.
