Great Ocean Road Day 1

So Karen and I paid for this 2 day tour of the great ocean road which runs along the south eastern coast of Australia near Melbourne! Our first stop was at the 12 Apostles which are massive sandstone/limestone stacks that were created when the coastline was eroded away by the rough ocean waves. 
I had a massive geology boner the entire time.

Karen and I! 
We ate lunch in this spot, which was right next to the 12 apostles. It's some little cove area where a boat crashed and everyone died except an 18 year old girl and an 18 year old boy and theres a cute little love story that goes along with it.
After the 12 apostles we went for a nature walk through a rainforest!! (WTF A RAINFOREST!!) This is a picture of the worlds second tallest species of tree! It's a type of eucalyptus!
This was a massive tree that fell over during a storm! It's trunk was huge!
This is a random scenic overlook along the Great Ocean Road. It was really overcast when we went but it was still really pretty.
OMFG!!! MY FIRST KAOLA SIGHTING!!! It was being adorable in a tree near a gas station we stopped at! 
This is at the entrance of the Great Ocean Road and it's a tribute to all of the men who built the road. There's also a statue thing off to the left but it was fugly so I didn't take a picture of it.
