Jamezilla Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 For those of you who don't know, one of the 12 Apostles collapsed over the weekend, leaving only 8 of the limestone rock formations left. http://www.news.com.au/story/0,10117,15815...0-28102,00.html If you have not yet driven to Port Campbell to see these, then I suggest you make it a priority for a spare weekend, before there are none left. Since I first saw them on a school excursion almost 20 years ago - the London Bridge formation has collapsed also. The drive along the Great Ocean Road is nothing short of spectacular - and makes a fabulous weekend away. The Golden Chain motel in Port Campbell even has spa rooms - perfect for a 'wink wink' weekend away As a club, we try to have at least 2 drives down the Great Ocean Road every year - the first having been in March. We'll try to plan another one later in the year to take advantage of nicer weather, and hope that in the meantime, nature plays nicely and the rest of the Apostles stay there.

saff_cossie Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 20 years ago, now you are showing your age! :uh-huh: I have done the drive a couple of times and enjoyed it immensly. Maybe a remembrance cruise needs to be organised for the demise of the 9th Apostle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, I'm sure every man & his dog will take the opportunity to head down this weekend. I'll have a chat to a few mates and see when they're interesting in making the pilgrimage.
