A Stop at Erskine Falls

While traveling the Great Ocean Road with the Keys, we stopped for a short hike at Erskine Falls near Lorne. We hadn't been here before, but I'd highly recommend it as a stop along the drive. It's a great place to see bright green plants, including huge ferns, and a big waterfall without much walking.


Straw Falls
We did hike a little further than the general viewing area near Erskine Falls and found Straw Falls. To get there, Zack and I took the more exciting path across the log. I even Tebowed on it. Zack and his dad climbed halfway up the rocks here, and then we headed back to the car to continue our Great Ocean Road trip. You can see many more pictures on my Shutterfly page (link in the top corner of the blog). This quick stop was worth it-check out Erskine Falls if you get the chance!

Hooray for the Great Ocean Road!
