Port Campbell Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Twelve Apostles Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Took the photo of my life on the Great Ocean Road! (With Tesla self-driving guide)
I went to the Great Ocean Road three times before I took the perfect foggy photo!! 2 days and 1 night on the Great Ocean Road, I experienced sunny weather, fog, strong wind, and heavy rain. The weather on the Great Ocean Road is really unpredictable!! It's because of the unpredictable weather that makes the 276-kilometer Great Ocean Road more fun to drive.
·
The most beautiful shooting spot on the Great Ocean Road is Gibson Steps! Gibson Steps! Gibson Steps! I have to say it three times. Walking down the Gibson Steps, you can see the big rocks and watch the sunset on the beach. It's only a few minutes' drive from the Twelve Apostles lookout. There are fewer people in the morning and at sunset. Whether you can encounter the right fog depends on your luck~

Self-driving route reference
D1: Depart from Melbourne - Charge in Geelong - Split Point Lookout - Apollo Bay - Marriners Lookout - Gibson Steps - 12 Apostles - Stay in Port Campbell, all along the coastline
D2: Port Campbell - London Bridge - Bay of Islands - Charge in Warrnambool - Return to Melbourne inland

The weather really determines the watchability of the Great Ocean Road. The weather was great on the first day, sunny all the way, and there was fog at sunset, which made every photo look good. It rained on the second day, and the wind was so strong that I was in a mess. I had to leave the coastline in a hurry and wander around the farm near Warrnambool. I really like the farms in Australia, the cows are so cute.
·
Accommodation:
There are quite a few towns where you can stay on the Great Ocean Road. Many tourists will stay in Apollo Bay. If you want to take pictures of the sunset at the Twelve Apostles, I suggest you stay in Port Campbell like I did. It's only a 10-minute drive from the Twelve Apostles and about 10 minutes from London Bridge.

Self-driving:
I experienced driving a Tesla Model Y on the Great Ocean Road for everyone, and I really didn't have any range anxiety.
The starting point of the Great Ocean Road, Geelong, and the end point, Warrnambool, both have Tesla's own superchargers. I set off from Geelong with a full charge and drove along the coastline, stopping and taking pictures along the way. When I arrived in Warrnambool, I still had 35% of the battery left. After charging, I drove back to Melbourne from the inland with 40% of the battery left. I only needed to charge twice for the round trip on the Great Ocean Road, and the supercharger was basically full within 40 minutes. At present, Model Y is still free to charge, I rented a Tesla to save fuel, but I didn't expect to save electricity, it's really great~
In addition to Geelong and Warrnambool, there are also 2 superchargers on the inland highway section, I remember they are in Cobden and Colac, ensuring that there is no range anxiety along the way~ Tesla car owners can rest assured to charge on the Great Ocean Road!

Twelve apostles - Great Ocean Road Drive
The Great Ocean Road is an ideal place for a road trip in Melbourne. Reminder to travel out early as it is rather unsafe driving with low visibility in the evening.
The coastline drive was a memorable experience and it is recommended for travellers to experience taking this route.
Do adequate research before the trip as you might be able to plot a quick stop to the Great Ocean Road chocolaterie as well.
💕 stunning nature at Twelve Apostles
#valentinescape
One of the highlights along the Great Ocean Road was the Twelve Apostles and is recommended as a must-do experience. We were won over by the truly breathtaking view of the Twelve Apostles. From different lookout points, we were treated with a different stunning vista of the limestone stacks rising out of the ocean. We also learned about the history of the area, including the early settlers and shipwrecks that occurred along the coast.
Indeed, it is a nature spot for anyone to see how these limestone stacks evolved over thousands of years through erosion and continue to be shaped by the ocean. Maybe when we visit again next time, we will have another different view of the Twelve Apostles.

Loch Ard Gorge Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Dramatic views @ Loch Ard Gorge 🌟
You may have heard of Great Ocean Road’s Twelve Apostles, but located just 12 minutes drive away is the Loch Ard Gorge - a hidden gem. Take the stairs down to the shore and stand between the enormous cliffs while getting a clear view down from the gorge. It is truly a surreal feeling to be standing where historical tragedies and miracles happen. And of course, the stunning views of the clear water are simply mesmerising.
Address: Great Ocean Road Port Campbell, VIC 3269

loch ard gorge
#celebratewithtrip
the next must visit during your great ocean road road trip would be the loch ard gorge. this is also one of my personal favorites. the good thing about this is you are up close and can take so many nice pictures over here. love the colors of the sea. it is quite sandy though so would suggest taking your shoes off if possible when walking.
apparently there are a lot of tourists during the weekdays as well so it is quite impossible to take a picture without having someone in the background. nevertheless it is still nice and the picture turns out great. would recommend visiting and admiring this natural wonders.

#celebratewithtrip
One of the attraction when come to great ocean road in Australia. Its a next stop after 12 apostle. Beautiful erosion over million years by the sea, wine and sand! Great views with excellent picturesque opportunities. 100 meters walk from car park and then there's steep steps leading down to the gorge. The view is great. The cliff, ocean view, the warm sand. It’s just so relaxing.

My favourite gorge along Great Ocean Road
#bucketlistreboot
The Loch Ard Gorge is one of the best-loved stop-off points along the Great Ocean Road. It’s situated in the Port Campbell National Park and is just three minutes from the world-famous formation of the Twelve Apostles.
The picturesque gorge is home to a smooth, pearlescent bay and an inlet of clear, blue water. It’s flanked by two yellow-washed cliff faces and tufts of vibrant greenery. Though it looks like something out of a storybook, Loch Ard isn’t just a pretty face. In fact, it has an interesting and colourful history that spans back hundreds of years. It was here that the Loch Ard, probably Victoria’s most famous shipwreck, was smashed against Muttonbird Island in 1878 with only two young survivors.

Adventures @ the kangaroo land
#visitmelbourne
It’s my first time visiting Melbourne, and I had a really great time in enjoying all sorts of fresh seafoods (🦀🦞🦐 and of course not mentioning the 🦪). You may check out the price from South Melbourne Market as I find it slightly cheaper than others.
The beef is so fresh in Australia and I would like to recommend ‘YOMG’ - Yo My Goodness to all, and the burger is super yum and very filling. The Best 🍔 burger I have had so far😋

Twelves Apostles - Victoria, Australia
The Twelves Apostles is a famous natural landmark along the Great Ocean Road in Australia. It’s a collection of limestone rock stacks that stand majestically off the southern coast of Australia.
Originally formed through erosion over millions of years. Due to relentless forces of wind & ocean waves, the softer limestone layers got eroded away, leaving behind the impressive stacks we see today.
The Twelves Apostles offer a breathtaking sight, especially during sunrise & sunset timing. There are several viewing platforms & walking trails to enhance the viewing experience here.
The Twelves Apostles are located within Port Campbell National Park, and is also walking distance to another landmark - Gibson Steps.

Gibson steps
#celebratewithtrip
the next stop of my great ocean road road trip was actually the Gibson steps. it can be quite tiring as there were a lot of stairs to reach to the destination and climbing all the way down would also mean that you will have to climb up again to reach your original place of arrival. nevertheless the view was really pretty and fabulous and you can take very nice pictures over here. would highly recommend to come here if you have the chance during your road trip. you can take plenty of memorable pictures here and do note it can be quite sandy so you might want to remove your shoes for more comfort.
Great Ocean Road is just astonishing.
A visit to GOR during good weather is just astonishing. Love the vibes in GOR.
The Gibson ladder is so magnificent, we are deeply attracted to the past.
When we walked down the Gibson ladder and stepped down, the sky had evolved from golden to sky blue, and the beach finally woke up, and we missed the beautiful moment.
I heard that the Gibson ladder was perfected by a Westerner named Gibson. It is said to be very dangerous and dangerous, but for those of you who have walked through the Huashan scorpion and the skywalk, it is simply a pediatrics.

Port Campbell National Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)
Counting rocks
#2023travelwish
This is The Twelve Apostles Marine National Park located in Victoria, Australia. It is along the Great Ocean Road~ It is a collection of limestone stacks off the shore. Although not all twelve are there, the view is still astonishingly beautiful! I could just chill in the park all day with this stunning view. It would’ve been perfect if we’ve caught the sunset~ 🥹
I wish I could visit more places with stunning ocean views
Although the 12th disciple stone of the most essential landmark of the Great Ocean Road is located in Port Campbell National Park, it is a pity that few tourists will choose to stay in this small town. In fact, it is not only a scenic spot, but also worth staying for one night, and feel the beautiful sunset of the Great Ocean Road.
During the day, the peak of tourists is still crowded and noisy, and it is not suitable for taking pictures.
The best time to visit the 12 disciples is actually two hours after sunrise and two hours before sunset, both to avoid a large number of group visitors, but also to capture the most beautiful sunrise and sunset. Therefore, Port Campbell has become a perfect destination for self-driving tourists. Living in the town, it is only ten kilometers away from the sights, and it is easy to reach both sunrise and sunset.
In addition, the port itself is also a beautiful place to enjoy the sunset. After the locals get off work, they like to come to the port to sit down, blowing a beer and drinking beer, which is simply a picture of longing for life.
Port Campbell is the quintessence of the Great Ocean Road, a collection of architectures that are naturally piled up by limestone and sandstone, including Gibsons Steps, The Grotto, London Bridge, Arches, Twelve Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge. The scenic spots are not far apart, and it is very convenient to drive all the way. When you see a variety of stones, you may not feel so shocked. But when the mood along the way is the most precious part of this trip. You can see the seascapes in different areas. They come in different colors and different forms, and they are all played and displayed here.
If you ask the hair on the Great Ocean Road, the photos taken are not enough to describe. It is the shock and emotion that you see after you see it. The sea, the sun, the waves of the waves, the freedom of the seagulls flying. It is a road full of possibilities. Here, you listen to all kinds of waves, smell the different seas, and feel the different temperatures that kelp gives you.
