If you drive down the Great Ocean Road in Australia, be sure to stop by the famous Twelve Apostles! The Twelve Apostles is a cluster of limestone pillars rising out of the Southern Ocean off the shore of Port Campbell National Park. These pillars were once limestone cliffs that faced constant erosion from the waves and winds. The best view is during sunrise or sunset where you can watch as the rocks change colour under different sunlight conditions. There’s a viewing platform where you can admire the Twelve Apostles or take a stroll by the beach to see them up close. From Melbourne, it is a 4.5 hour scenic drive along the Great Ocean Road to the Twelve Apostles. May be a long drive, but the scenery is definitely worth it! #momentssg #australia #scenicspotguide #nationalpark

#australiatrip The Twelve Apostles is a famous natural landmark located along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia. The 12 Apostles are a series of limestone rock stacks that rise from the Southern Ocean on Victoria's coastline, about 275 kilometers west of Melbourne. Despite twelve apostles, there are actually only eight apostles remaining because several have collapsed over time due to erosion caused by the powerful Southern Ocean waves. There are lookouts along the Great Ocean Road that offer stunning panoramic views of the coastline and the surrounding ocean. It is nice to enjoy the panoramic views of the coastline at the lookout point.

🌟 Highlights: Twelve Apostles Great Ocean Road 🚉 Travel Tips: Option one: Self-drive Option two: Group tour Since I took a group tour, I'll focus on that. Because this route is very popular, be sure to book a day in advance. Many websites offer group tours, so you can compare prices and times. I really think the group tour is also very good, usually the driver is also the guide, who will explain the scenery along the way while driving, so you won't be bored, and the time is arranged in a relaxed and reasonable manner. There are guides who speak both Chinese and English. If you are staying in the Melbourne city center, the bus will pick you up at your hotel. Or they provide a central meeting point, gathering around 7 am. It's convenient and saves trouble. ❤ Why I recommend it: The beautiful natural seascape along the way, the car driving on the road with the sea on one side and mountains on the other, blue skies, white clouds, and lush greenery coming towards you. Along the way, you pass through a seaside villa area, with houses built against the mountains, some halfway up the hill, with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the sea, and tables and sofas by the window glistening in the sunlight. Just one glance, and I was captivated, thinking that retiring here would be such a pleasant life. The guide will also take you to see koalas🐨, and you'll pass through a rainforest area. The trees are towering, truly lush. I've always felt like a daughter of the mountains, and once I entered, I really only wished to live in these mountains. The last stop is the most stunning Twelve Apostles. Of course, there's a beautiful legend that you can look up on your own. It's a place truly worth visiting in a lifetime, where you will marvel at the natural wonders, the smooth cliffs eroded by the sea, the brilliant colors, standing immovably between heaven and earth. Seeing it, you will be amazed and moved, and your thoughts will be countless... The meaning of travel is reflected here, these beauties will always accompany you, enriching your experience and life. Seeing is believing, and only by being there can you be truly astounded. Take action now, may our souls be nourished and touched on our journeys!

#melbournetrip 📍Twelve Apostles Visited this natural beauty in Melbourne, the Twelve Apostles! We rented a car from Melbourne city and drove to the Twelve Apostles. It was a 4 hour drive from the city centre, and the road along the way which is Great Ocean Road is stunning and beautiful! The sea views along the way was such a sight to behold! The sight seeing points are well maintained and ample of parking spots were available. It was really windy and chilly when we visited during July, so do wear extra layers to keep yourself warm. Besides the Twelve Apostles, we drove to see Loch Ard Gorge, which is also another viewpoint that was nearby! Would love to revisit!

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!
