Childers Cove

The first stop is at Childers Cove, a hidden gem nestled along the Great Ocean Road. The roads here are winding, with view stretching out as fas as the eye can see. A little windy, but very peaceful. The cliffs and incoming waves show some of the raw beauty of Australia.

The Twelve Apostles

Continu the journey westward, to the Twelve Apostles. These very well known majestic limestone cliffs rise dramatically from the Southern Ocean. And if I say they're well known, I mean it's 100% tourist packed. They're are lots of viewing platforms, but unless you're here very early or late, it's very crowded.

Away from the crowds

Close to the Twelve Apostles lookout, you'll find the Gibson Steps. These steps take you down to the beach. Instead of staying with the other tourists taking photos, we started walking to the left. After a few hundred meters, we found ourselves alone, surrounded by the huge cliffs, in between the mist, with the backdrop of the ocean. The atmosphere was moody, but sooo beautiful.
