Great Ocean Road

Hi,

I have been posting photos taken along the Great Ocean Road and to conclude this tour.....

Here is a map of the places that I visited to give you a better feel of it.

If we have planned to visit all the places of interests, it would have taken more than a day.


Our plan was to drive from Melbourne to Warrnambool and stay overnight at a motel, driving inland and we stopped at Geelong for lunch. We left at 11am and arrived at our destination at 5pm.

The following morning, we left at 10am and took about 1 hour to reach Port Campbell where the places of attractions started. We lunched at the small town and then timed oursleves to see those chosen attractions after consulting their Information Centre.

You need to do a fair bit of walking from the parking bay to see the see and the structures as shown in the photos in the earlier postings. After about 4 hours, we drove inland back to Geelong as we have made plans to stay at our friend's home and was to be there by 6pm for dinner. My brother dropped us off at Geelong and he has to drive another hour to reach his home in Melbourne.

There are day tour to the 12 Apostles but you are likely to spend most of your time travelling on the coach and it would be quite a rush.

On hindsight, I think we should have have stayed overnight at Port Campbell and then started the tour the following morning by visitng the 12 Apostles first so that we have the sun behind us instead in front of us, this would have been better for our photo shots.

I personally would like to revisit the 12 Apostles if time permits in my next visit to Melbourne.

The other attraction I would like to visit is to see the little peguins coming ashore in Philip Island at night.

Well, it was a good holiday and I look forward to the next one soon..... I hope....!
