Trip Moments Recommendations
Beauchamp Falls & Hopetoun Falls
Location : Apollo Bay Beech Forest
It's around 200kms/2.5 hours from Melbourne CBD, 40kms/1 hour Apollo Bay.
2 Great hikes for any hike lovers.
Hopetoun Falls: approx 200 steps down to the Falls which also include a viewing platform for those who decides not to talk down.
Beauchamp Falls: 1.6-2km return walk with a well paved track. Strenuous walk due to a constant uphill and steps on the way back.
Both hikes are only a 10/15mins drive away but do take note that Beauchamp Falls will require you to drive onto a dirt road for approx 3km to reach the carpark.
Both Beauchamp and Hopetoun Falls carparks are small, so do go early especially on weekend.

Mariner’s lookout is a must see for anyone visiting the Great Ocean Ocean. You can drive to the car park at the top of the mountain and then make the short hike up to the lookout.
Views are spectacular and you feel like you are on top of the world :)
