12 Apostles to Melbourne by Public Transport (GOW Trip)

 26 February 2024 (Post day 1)

 We enjoyed a good nights sleep in a bed and another shower this morning.

Then off to the 12 Apostles to enjoy their beauty and the power of the Southern Ocean before the crowds arrive. So different to last night, no voices just the sound of the ocean. Currently there are 8 apostles, the numbers vary as new ones are formed and old ones collapse. The footprints on the beach below the lookout are from fairy penguins – there is no access to this beach to protect their habitat. It was interesting to watch the changing light on the cliff faces.






The bus to Apollo Bay via the Great Ocean Road picked us up from the Visitor Information Centre.  We were able to see farmland and some forest sections of Otway National Park. We visited George’s for burgers for lunch in Apollo Bay. Next was the bus to Geelong, a super quick toilet stop and then onto the train to Southern Cross Station. There we only had to wait less than 10 minutes for our next train. Last, the short walk to our accommodation.
