Driving the Great Ocean Road
Blog: Pommie Travels - 31 March 2011
I’ve driven the Great Ocean Road twice, and it’s still one of my favourite parts of Australia. The first time I hired a van in Melbourne and drove to Port Campbell and back in just under three days. The second time I was taking part in the World Nomads Vantastic Road Trip, so I drove [...]

Don’t Panic: Driving the Great Ocean Road in One Day
Blog: Vagabond3 - 21 March 2011
I have to admit that as soon as I found out we were going to Australia, I googled “best sights in Australia”, and The Great Ocean Road was listed in the Top 5 of nearly every site. Clearly, we had to make the drive. However, we had a very tight trip, and the only way we could fit The Great Ocean Road in was to do a one day ‘to...

A Little Travel Memory…Goodbye Ye Faithful Apostles
Blog: A Little Adrift - A RTW Travelogue - 20 January 2011
Travel Memories: Two of the 12 Apostles on the Great Ocean Road Pretty picture! I’ll admit, that mostly inspired this post. The ocean reminds of blown Murano glass in Venice , Italy and nature purposefully highlighted the scene with a sizable dose of redish-orange limestone (two colors opposite on the color-wheel and therefore complimentary :). My tour guide on the Great Ocean Road shared all kinds of facts and stories, with a handful of local lore thrown in for good measure, but it was this drive’s likeness to the another beautiful road ...

Koala Safari on the Great Ocean Road
Blog: Twenty-Something Travel - 9 November 2010
Australia was always part of the plan. Ever since my golden days of living as an honorary Australian in London I’ve wanted to visit this untamed continent. The rest of this trip: Asia and whatever else, all sprung up around that seed of an idea. Now, after a full week here, I can say that [...]

Sunsets Around Australia
Blog: Vagabond3 - 24 October 2010
Here’s a compilation of a few of our favorite spots on the Eastern side of Australia: Great Ocean Road, Sydney, Port Douglas, and of course Kangaroo Island. Sorry that it’s a bit shaky -- apparently a monopod looks like a dangerous weapon to airport security. www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_UnfZYNwTQ Subscribe to the comments for this post? Share this [...]

The Great Ocean Road to Adelaide
Blog: Wanderlust - 19 May 2010
The 12 Apostles on the Great Ocean Road Surprise surprise, I’m posting less than a week since my previous post. I’ve spent more time at McDonald’s in the past three days than my entire life. More on that later. I left Melbourne a day earlier than I had planned when the two French guys I [...]

Roadtrip: The Great Ocean Road
Blog: Snaps and Flip Flops - 29 March 2010
Left Melbourne at 9 AM, returned at 2 AM. Hundreds of kilometers traveled with plenty of stops along the way. I can see why this is one, if not the most, popular drive in Australia.Surfer at Bell's Beach

First Timers Expectations of Australia
Blog: Vagabond3 - 19 March 2010
To say that I’ve experienced Sydney would be an understatement; I was given a truly once in a lifetime experience exploring the city in ways many of the natives haven’t. It was like a James Bond movie- the three of us were escorted from hotel to car to sea plane to boat all to just [...]

Kangaroos, Koalas and Pies
Blog: Itinerant Londoner - 19 November 2009
Nice as Melbourne was, I also wanted to explore a bit of the Victorian countryside, so after a weekend of partying in the city we hired a car and headed off to the Grampians, a mountain range and national park a few hours to the north-west of the city. All through my trip I’ve been fantastically [...]

The spectacular Great Ocean Road
Blog: velvet escape's blog - 8 May 2009
The Great Ocean Road along Victoria, Australia’s southwestern coast is arguably one of the most stunning drives in the world. The road winds past verdant rolling hills, lush sub-tropical forests, dramatic cliffs, pristine beaches and Victoria’s most popular attraction: the Twelve Apostles. It is possible to join a day tour of the Great Ocean Road [...]

Australia Day & The Great Ocean Road
Blog: Kieron Clark - 30 January 2009
On 26th January 1788, a ragtag band of British army officers and orange-stealing ne’er-do-wells came ashore at Sydney Cove at the end of a long and dangerous voyage from Portsmouth. After raising the Union Flag, they proceeded to establish Port Jackson, the first white colony on the continent of Australia. Today, the 26th January is [...]

Getting Away From It All

Last year Narrelle and I pioneered a new travel concept (at least, for us): the 'technology detox' vacation.
