I recently posted a yarn about my successful 2006 walk on the Great Ocean Walk and down the Great Ocean Road, in which I mentioned a less-successful 2003 wander. This is that 2003 wander.

If you want to read the two in succession, here is the link to the 2006 story again:

Walking the Great Ocean Road

Five days walking Victoria’s Great Ocean Road, from Apollo Bay to Warrnambool

Sun, rain, beauty, and creepy talkative trees on the Great Ocean Walk at the end of its first year. Featuring a loo with a view on Christmas Day at the aptly named Devils Kitchen campsite.

Day 3 of my #Mosstodon collection from the weekend's hike. There's moss on those rocks that sit alongside that little inlet. And that bird was doing a bit of sunbathing in the morning sunshine!

Had a great overnight hike on the weekend along the #GreatOceanWalk, in Western Victoria in Australia.

I made sure to stop & pause at any moss-covered flora so I can contribute to #Mosstodon!

⛺️ Three nights, three days; from Johanna Beach to Ryans Den, Ryans Den to Devils Kitchen, Devils Kitchen to the 12 Apostles.
More than a decade ago we did the first half of this walk - it was time to finish it off. Pleasant walking along the coast with a fair bit of sea mist controlling the temperature for our walk. Numerous flowers, lots of wildlife, quite a few hills and a fair bit of sand.

The Great Ocean Walk from Apollo Bay to the Twelve Apostles is a hike that covers approximately 100km in seven days. Even if you're not into hiking and camping, the Great Ocean Road is a stunning drive and worth doing as a daytrip.
This time last year, @verdigriis & me did the hike with a moderate amount of preparation & training, survived, and enjoyed the experience (despite storms, mud, and bitey insects).
I think we're extremely fortunate to have this extraordinarily beautiful landscape and wildlife right here on our doorstep in Victoria.
