Great Ocean Road trip 5 8/04/12
This is my 5th time to Great ocean road and We wanted to make some thing better out of it . A night trip demanded a tiring journey and we opted to have an Audi this time.
GOD is so beautiful that I never gets bored driving through the curved roads with one side mountain ranges and other side ocean. This trip very well be the final trip to GOD if I don't get another chance to visit Australia. We have started from melbourne around 7 AM to get the rented car. Europcar was the choice this time because she only provides Audi cars. 
Winter already started in Melbourne and it was too dark even at 7am.
This time we opted for a return trip via the great ocean road in the night.We first took the forest route to the Great Otway National park famous for the tree top walk. It took almost an hour to cover the 2km rainforest Treetop Walk. The most enjoyable moment was climbing the long and 30mt high steel structured treetop canopy walkway which took us right into the treetops. The Otway Fly Treetop Walk is considered as the longest and tallest walkway of its type in the world.
The best part of this park is that all the structures of the canopy walkway are designed to have minimal impact on the forest environment. The 600 metre long steel section is divided into lightweight trusses ranging from 24 metres to 40 metres which are supported by 12 towers. The spiral tower stands at an exhilarating height of 47 mt, and the cantilever sways gently in the tree canopy offer spectacular views. Climbing on to the top of spiral tower will really test your fear of heights.
The Great Ocean Road is 243-kilometre stretch of road along the south-eastern coast of Australia between Torquay and Warrnambool. The road was built by returned soldiers of World War 1, between 1919 and 1932. Great Ocean Road is considered as the world's largest war memorial; dedicated to casualties of World War I. No wonder that It is the most important tourist attraction in Victoria. Astounding roads alongside the coast with several prominent landmarks; including the mesmerising Twelve Apostles limestone stack formations make great ocean road the most beautiful place in mother Earth I have seen.
Though I drove several times in Great Ocean Road, It was spectacular to drive in the night. It was risky, dangerous, but amazing. The view of the reflection of bright moon in the ocean was so much enchanting that we parked our car several times at several sea view points in the mountain roads.
After the greatest great ocean road trip, we reached home at around 11 PM. Wish I could go again !!!
Bye Bye Great Ocean Road !!!
