Blown Away

While in Melbourne....

As my previous post said, while we were in Melbourne we drove to see the 12 Apostles which were 12 rock formations along the coast--there are only 8 standing now as the previous ones crumbled into the sea--the most recent last year.

The day we went was a blustery rainy day--the weather report described the winds as "Gale Force Winds" and well um yeah they were gale force!! At times on the walkways to view the Apostles and Thunder Cave and other lovely sites, we literally had to fight to stand upright and I feared for the few small children that were not tied down. No joke the winds were that strong. It was incredible to be walking along and feel the wind pick up your feet as if to blow you down--yup I experienced this--wow!! Mother nature is super strong!!
