Great Ocean Road

I went to the Great Ocean Road just last sunday, to check out a world famous must-see scenery, which is this picture on the left, the Twelve Apostles - twelve huge rocks standing in the sea..but only nine left today..




This picture on the right is somewhere called Loch Ard Gorge, where a shipwreck happened here in 1878. A story was told, that this 18 year old Eva Carmichael clung to some wreckage from the ship, and was alone when she finally came near the shore. Drifting through huge twin cliffs, she found herself in a small bay, but she was too exhausted to make it to shore herself, and was ready to collapse.
Luckily for her, Tom Pearce, also 18, was on the shore already. Exhausted himself, he swam out to rescue her, and brought her safely back to land.
Then Tom climbed the cliffs to search for help, not seeing the steps that were already cut into the cliff face. In time, he found people to help them, and Eva could begin to recover from her shocking ordeal.
People all through the colony saw the situation as romantic. They wanted Tom and Eva to fall in love and be married, saying that God had brought them together for a reason.
Tom and Eva, however, did not feel the same way, and after three months, Eva went back to Ireland, to be with the rest of her family. In 1884, Tom married another woman, related to a man who died in the shipwreck, and started a family.

Well, some people are just not meant to be together..

Remember to treasure that special someone who is standing beside you :) The probability of meeting this someone is miraculously small..so hold his/her hands tight and never let go rashly.

Anywayz...did i have fun?..well..i spent half a day travelling in a mini van with 5 other strangers, sitting at the back seat taking the risk of getting carsick...hmm...i think i should say yes >"<
