[edit] Location of Visitors' Centre

The article says there is vistors' centre, whose construction aroused some controversy, near Peterborough. The only Visitors' Centre I can think of which could be at all controversial is the one at the Twelve Apostles' car park, which is between Princetown and Port Campbell. Or am I thinking of something completely different? Rocksong 05:03, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

And the one near the 12 Apostles it ended up winning an architects' environment award anyway, so (if I'm thinking of the same Visitors' Centre) it seems the concerns may have been ill-founded anyway: http://www.aila.org.au/victoria/awards2003/projects/twelveapostles.htm . I propose deleting the whole "controversy" bit. Rocksong 04:30, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestion: listing the different features

I've just travelled the GOR. With time being comparatively short, it was hard to choose between the many turnoffs from the 12 Apostles to the Bay of Islands. Is there any site which lists them all, so travellers can plan a bit? (All the external links in the article are pretty poor in this regard). Otherwise, perhaps a collaborative effort can do it here? (Since anyone can drive out and look, I don't think it really qualifies as WP:OR). Rocksong 12:37, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
