2022 Great Ocean Walk

Day -1 Travel to Victoria
12 Apostles Motel
12 Apostles Motel

Today was pre-trip travel day leaving Canberra at just after 6:00am and arriving at our accomodation at the Twelve Apostles Motel just after 3:30pm. The weather gods were with us with a warm sunny day and relatively traffic free roads until we hit Melbourne.

We always take the easy option when we do long drives taking a cup of of tea with us which in my case lasted nine hours (I love my thermos cup) and the day’s snacks but as far as breakfast and lunch goes we make good use of McDonalds.

While I’ve seen it many times before I still don’t get tired of the flowering Canola crops along the way, to me they look like a yellow ocean.

Once we arrived at our motel we offloaded our gear and then headed the 10km drive into Port Campbell for an early dinner, and when I say early I mean 4:30pm. After doing the walk around Port Campbell we headed back to the motel to get our clothes ready for our first day of hiking. All we have left to do in the morning is have a shower, eat breakfast and wait for our lift.
