Today's travel photo is of some gum trees silhouetted against a colourful sky at the Victoria Falls camp ground in Australia. We stayed at this campground after taking the Great Alpine Road through some spectacular country, and this was a great spot to stop for the night. We had the whole place to ourselves, so [...]
Today's travel photo is of a walkway leading to a viewpoint overlooking the rough coastline at Cape Bridgewater, Australia. Cape Bridgewater is a lovely spot located near Portland in Western Victoria. I took this photo while walking towards a viewpoint which looks out over some blow holes. The sea wasn't quite rough enough at the [...]
Today's travel photo is of a path through a pine tree plantation in Western Victoria, Australia. On our way to the South Australian border, we drove past miles and miles of pine plantations, and we stopped here for a sandwich and a cuppa. This area had been struck by some bad bush fires the month [...]
London Bridge is just one of many amazing sights along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia. This natural rock formation actually had two arches and was connected to the mainland until it collapsed in 1992. Two people were left stranded on the newly formed island when this happened. I guess they were just lucky [...]
Having just driven the Great Ocean Road, I didn't think that any other piece of coastline would impress me, however the beauty only continued as we headed west through Portland. The small city of Portland was actually the very first settlement to be established in Victoria, Australia, around one year before Melbourne was founded. Located [...]
When we first decided to travel around Australia in a camper van, one of the places that I wanted to see the most was the Great Ocean Road in Victoria. Running 243km from Torquay to Warrnambool on the south coast, the Great Ocean Road is one of Australia's most popular tourist attractions, and for very [...]
We left Golden Beach on the south coast of Victoria, Australia, with the intention of only having a short drive to our next camping spot on the Morwell River. The drive took us to the small town of Boolarra where we took the Morwell River Road along the forested valley. When we reached the first [...]
The Great Ocean Road in Victoria is one of Australia's most popular tourist destinations, and rightly so. It travels along some of the most breathtaking coastline that I have ever seen. We took two days to drive the road so that we could make lots of stops along the way. We camped for the night [...]
It had basically been nonstop driving since we left Queensland. We had seen some amazing places driving through New South Wales and into Victoria, basically stopping at a different place every night, but it was now starting to wear us down. We needed to just stay put somewhere for a couple of days to recuperate, [...]
Our first day in Victoria, Australia, was eventful. Travelling from the border to Glenrowan, where Ned Kelly made his last stand, we travelled to Greta to pay our respects at the cemetery where he is buried, before making our way to the base of Mount Buffalo where we camped at Nug Nug Reserve. Today would [...]
