Continuing on with our Great Ocean Road roadtrip… we headed towards Cape Otway in search of koalas and the lighthouse. We were not disappointed. This is the place to see koalas in the wild. Once we reached a point in the road where several other cars were stopping, Mike and I decided to hop out and get a good look. Of course, my the battery in my camera died after my first photo. Thank goodness for back up point and shoots!
We walked from tree to tree staring at the koalas and taking photos. They are seriously so cute. I especially loved the mama and baby koala. That’s just too much.
Back in the car I started counting koalas as we headed to the lighthouse. I think I lost track around twenty? It’s practically a safety hazard because your eyes are much more interested in scanning the trees than the road. Luckily, we made it to the lighthouse without incident.
As much as I do love lighthouses, paying $18.50 to enter one is a bit ridiculous. We decided to skip the lighthouse itself and took a short bushwalk instead. From the path we were able to see the lighthouse in the distance. Considering it was free, that was good enough for me!
