Yesterday visited the beautiful Blue Lake at Mount Gambier
Apollo Bay 14-21°C
Thunderstorms.
Weren’t we devastated when the London Bridge collapsed and became the London Arc? A sad, sad, day for all. We’re not actually talking about London Bridge in the UK but the old London Bridge made of stone that was part of the Twelve Apostles along the Great Ocean Road. In 1990, two tourists became stuck when the bridge part of the rock collapsed, leaving the tourist stranded on the arch before a helicopter had to save them!
It’s fairly safe to say that this accident was caused by erosion. But now onto our run. We’re chugging along 266km to Apollo Bay after yesterday visit to the stunning Blue Lake in Mount Gambier. Today’s focus will be on wind power and the impacts of global warming on Apollo Bay itself as well as the Otway Ranges and the Great Ocean Road.
On the way, we’ll be stopping off at the Codrington Wind Farm to chat to Lane Crockett from Pacific Hydro and then onto Apollo Bay where we’ll be meeting with Deakin University Professor John Sherwood who’ll present on the impacts of climate change on the Otway and Great Ocean Road communities. Some hot topics in this area are rising sea levels, erosion, fire risk in the Otways and the threat of global warming on the region tourist economy. Come on down and share your thoughts, we’d love to hear.
Happy Running
