Bay of Martyrs

West of Peterborough, Victoria was Bay of Islands Coastal Park. If the Twelve Apostles didn’t exist, this would be the place to see multiple stacks.

The Great Ocean Road to Port Campbell

From the Twelve Apostles onwards, there was one viewing point, short hike or view from the road that revealed one natural wonder after another. Not only were the glowing cliffs dazzling, but the colour of the ocean added a hypnotic contrast.

The Great Ocean Road’s Thunder Cave

An arch once marked the entrance to the tiny inlet leading to the Thunder Cave. With wind and wave action however, the arch collapsed in 1990.

The first time I wound my way along the two hundred and forty kilometres of this scenic drive, I was stunned by its beauty. So decades later on my return to Victoria, this was the first place I wanted to revisit.
