great Otway National park
#celebratewithtrip
as part of my great ocean road road trip , I also went to the great Otway national park for a really short and sweet hike to enjoy and explore the nature as I immerse myself there and had some time for some silence and reflection. it was nice to just look at the wonders of nature and explore the National park. the hike was very very easy and manageable and can be done by the young and old so no worries. there wasn’t any particularly steep areas so it was quite manageable. there was a hollow tree in the National park and it was nice looking at it. there were also many tall trees all around and it provided great shelter. love nature.

There are two famous lighthouses on the Great Ocean Road: one is the Little Red Riding Hood Lighthouse that has passed by, and the other is the oldest Cape Otway Lighthouse we are going to. It was built in 1848 and is still in use until now. The lighthouse is built on a 80-meter-high seaside cliff facing the intersection of the Bass Strait and the Southern Ocean. At the earliest, the thousands of immigrants from Europe and the Americas spent several months traveling across the ocean to Australia. The Cape Otway was the first they saw. A piece of land, because there was no lighthouse, it caused hundreds of people to die. Later, after several proposals, the lighthouse was built. It is famous because there is a giant lead crystal worth 5 million HKD from the United Kingdom. There used to be a telegraph station during the Second World War, a lighthouse man's hut to find the story of the lighthouse keeper and the telegrapher, and you can watch the whales on the lighthouse and get to see the koala in the forest. There are also many artifacts, such as the red-haired Eric anchor, lighthouse and beacon, signal flagpole, weather station, radar lookout and more.

Drive to the Great Otway Park Lighthouse, the main point of the road is to find trees with koalas. How to find it is actually very easy. When you see compatriots standing on the side of the road and looking up at something, then stop and stop. All the way to stop and go, very lucky to see three big two small, two of them also carry a small koala. To tell the truth, I really test my eyesight. Who can make them a color with the banyan tree? Koala also looked at our curious visitors from the heights with round eyes. Estimated in the heart of the OS

The wind blows along the Great Ocean , enjoy the scenery while hiking.
With the gradual opening up of oversea travel, I have been planning to travel to Australia. The Great Ocean Road is at the top of my self-driving travel wish list. When I arrived here and explored the depths of the Otways, I finally understood why the locals love to immerse themselves in "forest bathing".
The steep Altwein Mountains are covered by towering rainforests, with waterfalls cascading down, adding a touch of agility to this jungle paradise. At the end of the forest is the coast, where ✨hikers can freely switch between viewing modes.
Ultraviolet is spread throughout the hiking trails, and it is also very suitable for leisurely family walks to enjoy the scenery along the way.
In addition, Otway is also a habitat for wild animals such as kangaroos, koalas, emus, and birds. You may want to sign up for the popular Wildlife Wonders tour, where 🎄professional guides will take us to places where wild animals often appear, and along the way, they will also provide some animal science knowledge. This is a journey full of healing and rewards. 🍀
Hiking tips:
1. When entering nature, please pay attention to protecting the local environment and maintain a friendly distance from wildlife. 🍃
2. Don't carry heavy loads while hiking. If conditions permit, it is recommended to wear professional hiking clothes and shoes.
3. For novice hikers, it is recommended to sign up for related hiking tours to enjoy the scenery and hiking at the same time, which is worry-free and safe. 🌵
