I took this picture while down in Melbourne for Christmas 2003. I used my old Nikon N80 film camera because my digital coolpix 5700 was stolen just a month before. I had been looking forward to using the 5700 in an airplane.. but I guess thats life!
We got up before sunrise and drove from our hotel in the city to Morrabin airfield where my brother Glenn (the pilot) was preparing the plane. We took off at sunrise and followed Port Phillip bay down to the Heads where we crossed the bay to Torquay, the start of the Great Ocean Road. We then followed the coast to Apollo bay where we crossed the forest surrounding Cape Otway.
We were not sure exactly where we were when we hit the coast again, and couldn't guage how far awya our target was and became a little worried as we were running low on fuel due to a strong headwind. Just when we were considering turning back we spotted the famous landmark up ahead. We made a few slow low level passes, then returned home again.

Cliff Along Great Ocean Road

The picture above was taken Xmas 1998 as part of a driving trip from Melbourne to Adelaide, Kangaroo Island then back to Sydney. The rough weather you can see was part of the front that hit the Sydney to Hobart yacht race, a storm that resulted in the death of 6 sailors.

The flash film below is of the low flyby we did of the 12 Apostles on the 2003 flight.
