Great Ocean Walk

Posted by Frank, under Adventure Travel, Advice and help, Great Ocean Walk, Victoria.

The plan was to traverse most of the Great Ocean Walk. Helen and Deb would commence at Marengo (just outside Apollo Bay) and Sue, John and Frank would meet them at Glenaire (Aire River) and we would all walk through to Princetown (just before the end at Glenample Homestead)

The Parks Victoria website describes the walk as:

One of the Worlds Great WalksThe Great Ocean Walk, on Victoria’s spectacular west coast, stretches 91 klms from the idyllic resort town of Apollo Bay to Glenample Homestead (near to the 12 Apostles). It passes through the beautiful National Parks and overlooks the Marine National Park and Sanctuary.

You can check out the official site here: Great Ocean Walk Site

Below is Helen on the western side of Marengo heading towards Blanket Bay.

Special thanks to Helen and Deb for letting us use some of their photos.
