I'm lucky enough to live near one of Australia's popular natural tourist attractions- The Twelve Apostles. Located along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, this natural formation along the coast is slowly eroding away but still draws thousands of tourists every year who stop along the roadside to view the picturesque sight.

I have decided to put this puzzle up today in association with an event that is running at the moment- although admittedly there's a little bit of a stretch. As you head towards the Great Ocean Road, in Bellbrae, there is an amazing place called The Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery. 

Now, I've never been there but I have many friends and family members who vouch for the place and insist on me going there at some point. I absolutely want to but I need to find the time! Anyway, at the moment, they're holding a Hot Chocolate Festival and it sounds amazing. If you end up going along the Great Ocean Road to visit the Twelve Apostles and other landmarks, then you should definitely make a stop at the chocolaterie on the way!

Sooo, plug over- back to the puzzle! This puzzle is of a panoramic image taken by Ken Duncan- a renowned Australian photographer. The colours and quality of this puzzle were outstanding, and the image is a truly beautiful representation of Australia's natural wonders. 

I have a few other puzzles from this collection which I hope to do soon- the images are just so vibrant- making these into perfect reminders of travel memories, or enticing additions to a travel bucket list.

I'm lucky enough to live a short drive away from Australia's iconic Great Ocean Road- a scenic drive along Victoria's coastline. One of the highlights of this drive is The Twelve Apostles- if you make this trip, you'll see jutting limestone formations that rise out of the water along the shoreline of the Port Campbell National Park. While some of them have eroded in time (there are no longer twelve of them), these stacks still make a picturesque view and are often photographed by passing tourists and artists. 

One such photographer, Ken Duncan, is renowned for taking fantastic landscape images and this is one of his offerings, translated into jigsaw puzzle format. While there are only 450 pieces in this puzzle, it was still quite challenging, particularly with the similar colour tones. The colours seem to blend into one another, and I had to tackle it in sections- water in one, sand and rocks in another, and the sky and clouds together. The colours are so similar, especially in artificial light, that it could be difficult to place the pieces at times, but this only made the experience more interesting. 

This puzzle is a great way to capture the panoramic view of this world-famous natural attraction.
