Adventure idea for you to try #4

I first started flying around in helicopters as a young Marine. I even jumped out of a couple of them. I have just always loved flying in them. If you want to get to know a place, see it from the air.

Since those days I have taken a number of helicopter rides as a tourist. The last one was when we first moved to Australia. I decided to take my daughter up to see the Twelve Apostles from the air. They are located just off the Great Ocean Road a few hours’ drive from where we live.

The weather conditions of the Southern Ocean are pretty extreme. That is why the area is sometimes called the Shipwreck Coast. The Twelve Apostles are a collection of giant limestone stacks created over millions of years by waves and wind eroding the cliffs around them. They are one of Australia’s most iconic landmarks and seeing them from the air is awe inspiring and humbling.

Plus taking a seven-year-old in a helicopter anywhere is an incredibly exciting adventure in itself. If you get the chance take a helicopter tour.
