Victoria has slowed our travels down to a level that we never expected, with so many truly amazing places to see, 4WD tracks to do and great camp sites. So much so, that we got through about 2 weeks on the Great Ocean Road and were virtually out of food, and had to make a…
The Great Ocean Road gets a huge amount of attention, and rightly so; its beautiful, and there’s lots to see. However, in doing it, many people miss the amazing attractions that aren’t too far away, like Beauchamp Falls. We spent 3 nights camped at Beauchamp Falls Campground, and thoroughly enjoyed the area, but were quite…
The Great Ocean Road is hugely popular, and absolutely stunning. However, just inland is the Redwoods, which are equally as beautiful, and well and truly worth the detour. Walking through the Redwoods in the Otways National Park, I was absolutely shell shocked. This place is up there with the best that I’ve ever seen, and…
The Rainforest region of Victoria is nothing short of spectacular, and we fell in love with it, taking our time and exploring as many places as we could get to. After leaving the beautiful Blanket Bay down at Cape Otway, we decided to call into Maits Rest and do the Rainforest walk, as the kids…
The Great Ocean Road has some pretty spectacular National Park camping available, and if you aren’t making use of it you’ll be paying through the roof for caravan parks in the area. After exploring a huge number of places along the way, we booked a night at Blanket Bay Campground down on Cape Otway, and…
The Great Otways National Park has blown us away on so many occasions, and after two unbelievable nights at Aire Crossing Campground, we hooked up and headed out, towards another free camp just up the road called Beauchamp Falls. Pulling onto the gravel road in, and seeing the logs down everywhere, and lack of scenery…
Victoria continues to shock me in delivering spectacular camp sites that are low cost, or free and Aire Crossing in the Great Otways National Park is up there with some of the best that we’ve done so far. In WA we are spoilt for choice when it comes to amazing coastal camping, but Victoria is…
Victoria is not a place in Australia where you’d expect to find rainforests, but in the stunning Great Otways National Park there are a number of them, and they are nothing short of spectacular. The first one we did in Victoria was the Melba Gully Rainforest Walk, and it was a stark contrast to the…
The Great Ocean Road has some fantastic camping, and we spent a night at Aire River West, keen to see more of the amazing region. This was a different camp ground again, and despite this we really enjoyed it. We arrived on a Friday afternoon and it was relatively quiet, until about 3PM, when the…
After looking at the prices for some Great Ocean Road Camping options, we very quickly booked a couple of National Park stays, including a night at Johanna Beach. This is one of the more popular national park campgrounds along the Great Ocean Road, and despite being out of school holidays, and not a weekend there…
After a pretty cruisy start to the day at the Hawksdale Golf Club Camp, we headed south towards Warnambool to begin our Great Ocean Road drive. The plan was to get water, food, fuel and a few odds and end in town before heading out to a free camp north east, except we never left,…
After nearly 2 weeks in the Grampians National Park in beautiful places like Halls Gap Lakeside Tourist Park and Mackenzie Falls, we decided to head south and continue our journey along the coast, and start the Great Ocean Road. We had no idea where to go, and when we stumbled across the Hawkesdale Golf Club…
