This is one of the typical plants in the area. Its common name is Cushion Bush or Leucophyta Brownii.

The Twelve (or so) Apostles are made of limestone which is a soft rock that is prone to significant erosion over time. The coastline is constantly changing. We found this rock with some holes, inside which some plants had taken hold. These holes have possibly been created by rain.

The small blue bird in the tree in this photo is a [edit] Superb Fairy Wren. It is hard to photograph because it jumps around very quickly.

In the low, thick bush next to the path were a lot of birds. We only saw a couple, but we could hear beautiful chirping and twittering all along the walk.

[Re edit: thank you to @ecoscore for telling me I had identified the bird incorrectly!]

Have a look at this Tiger Snake cruising next to the path walked by hundreds of people while we were there.

See that dark brown thing projecting out over the tip of the rock on the left of the photo? That is actually a very large, cantilevered viewing platform that can hold a lot of people. We walked out there.

Be prepared for a lot of wind when stepping outside your vehicle on the Great Ocean Road. Today was a blustery westerly wind. I was very glad for the hood of my jacket.
