🇦🇺 Melbourne Great Ocean Drive

One of the must-do when you are in Melbourne and it is also a great viewing place if you are after the autumn foliage. It will definitely be easier if you are driving, you can take your time and make stops along the way to take photos, have a meal then continuing driving. If you are making your way up to GOR Great Ocean Road, it is recommended to take the coastal drive. This way, you get to see the beautiful oceans views. On the way back, you can take the forest way and admire the greenery. Please be cautious as you will meet animals on the road. #fallingforfall #australia #melbourne #liveyourdreams #takethattrip

Great Ocean Road!

When in Melbourne, the Great Ocean Road is a must add to your itinerary. We were in awe with the breathtaking view at every turn and it was really one of the highlights of our holiday. We stayed a night in a cabin at Port Campbell to fully soak in the whole experience and we would highly recommend!

Great Ocean Road in Australia

Just a few months ago, we took spontaneous trip to Australia and visit the Great Ocean Road. The overall breathtaking view is just amazing. You’ll see numerous distinct rock formations here. The surrounding beach and the rock formations is just mesmerizing. Be careful though as the drive here is kind of hard. It would be best if you would drive using a 4x4 vehicle #campingglamping

Lucky Bay Esperance WA

This has to be the most amazing and beautiful place that I have been so blessed to visit! The photos don't do it justice! It is absolutely breathtaking... To walk along the white sandy beach and crystal clear turquoise water is an experience that is well worth the visit and the token entrance fee to the National Park in which it 'hides'. Kangaroos sunbathe on the beach but it is usually later on in the day.... so I didn't get to witness them... however, I did see them up close when returning to the carpark. They were very tame...

Stunning captures! 📸

LUCKY BAY, AUSTRALIA - KANGAROOS Australia´s most beautiful beaches with sand that soft and fine it squeaks under your feet. Esperance is a town in Western Australia on the Southern Ocean coastline. From Perth, it takes around 8 hours by car (720 km) or 1,5-hour flight by plane. Esperance is on the top of a travel bucket list of many people. And there are a few good reasons why! It´s said Esperance has Australia's most beautiful and whitest beaches with pristine turquoise waters. The sand is soft and clear that it creates a squeaky sound when you walk on it. Lucky Bay in Cape Le Grand National Park is one of these idyllic beaches where you can hang out with wild kangaroos. About 60 kilometers east of Esperance a white sandy Bay lying in the middle of Cape Le Grand National Park with friendly yet wild kangaroos on the beach. The one-day entrance fee is 13 AUD per car. Expect to be sharing this beach not just with kangaroos but with quite a few people as well. The best time to visit Lucky Bay in Esperance, Western Australia is anytime between late spring till early autumn. The winter can be really cold down south so try to avoid that season. Summer temperatures are beautiful, the sun is out and you can enjoy swimming in these pristine turquoise waters and sunbathing on the beach. #awesomepic #couplestrip #unforgettableexperiences #travelinspiration #beach #romance #instagramworthydestinations #australia #kangaroo #esperance #awesomepic

Cape Le Grand National Park Esperance

We visited Cape Le Grand back in October so it was still a bit chilly however the sun did eventually come out for us! This national park is one of the most beautiful for sure! it’s got beautiful beaches to explore, and is said to have kangaroos roaming, unfortunately we didn’t bump into any kangaroos but we still had an amazing day trip to this natural beauty spot. Esperance itself is also stunning and a must visit for any backpacker. #perth #australia #nationalpark #mytripvlog #summervacation #westernaustralia #perthtrails

Must Visit: Esperance Stonehenge 🇦🇺

#timetotravel Esperance Stonehenge, located in Western Australia, is a remarkable replica of the iconic Stonehenge in the UK that transported me through time and continents. My visit to this extraordinary monument was a captivating journey into the mysteries of ancient history. Walking amidst the towering stones, meticulously aligned to match the original, was a surreal experience. The attention to detail in recreating this ancient wonder is commendable. The standing stones cast elongated shadows as the sun sets, creating an ethereal atmosphere. What makes Esperance Stonehenge truly unique is its location amidst the serene Australian outback. Surrounded by pristine wilderness, it's a place where history meets nature's beauty. Exploring the adjacent gardens and the informative visitor center provided valuable insights into the astronomical significance of Stonehenge. It's a must-visit destination for history enthusiasts and those seeking a unique and thought-provoking experience in the heart of Australia's wild landscapes. #australia #instatravel #stonehenge

Parallel Stonehenge

It was worth a visit although a short one as not that much to see! As I'm from UK it interested in actually standing in the circle, as you can't get near it in UK... It is said that it is situated in the exact opposite position in the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere and people visit at the equinox to see the sunrises

Australia PINK LAKE, about three or four hours drive from Melbourne, we are specially coming from the Great Ocean Road, come here to take pictures in the morning, go to the Sovereign Hill Mine in the afternoon, and return to Melbourne at night, so the arrangement is reasonable, because it is not in front of the village. There are no shops, so there are very few tourists. I heard that there will be more lakes here in September. Now the whole lake is the color of the strawberry milkshake. You can go up, and the feet are like large and large salt particles in the sun. Very nice under the illumination
