Great Ocean Road is probably the most special way in the state of Victoria, Australia. Range 45 m-high rock called the Twelve Apostles stand off the coast of Port Campbell National Park and is often the last stop point of the journey across the Great Ocean Road between Torquay and linking the Warnambool along the 243 km.

For me, the most interesting of the Great Ocean Road is how I feel like having four seasons in one trip. Victoria weather is like changing my adds more casually.

With a friend, I left early in the morning by car. From the center of Melbourne, where I lived then, we headed south towards Geelong on. Of Geelong, we head to Torquay, a small town officially became the beginning of the Great Ocean Road. In addition to smooth the path also offers magnificent views.

In Torquay, we enjoy the beautiful blue beaches, which is a plural view when crossing this road. Coastal road between Torquay, Lorne to Apollo Bay presents a remarkable beauty. Apollo Bay is a small town nestled in a bay. This place has now become one of the destinations, though probably still less with the neighboring town, Lorne.

In Apollo Bay, we stopped for a moment to unwind and enjoy lunch. It was the month of February, still summer in Australia. The sun beating down and I saw many people surfing. There are also stores that sell a range of surfing equipment and provide the course.

The journey continues, and this time do not cross the coast roads. It is precisely this part that makes me very impressed. Heat of the sun is lost is replaced by a hanging clouds, at that time we were through the rain forest with a variety of vegetation. The sky was covered with thick foliage of large trees on the right and left side of the road.

If you want more to explore nature in Australia, at Cape Otways, not far from the Apollo Bay you can join for bush walking walking across the forest.

Heavy rain so we had to stop the car for a moment on the edge of the forest. Weather was hot water poured rain, the trees shed leaves. As autumn came too fast.

Because of the pouring rain only briefly, when we crossed the steppes, lived drizzle that greeted point. The smell of wet earth and grass to create an atmosphere similar to the spring. We stopped briefly to see the cows are left alone in a vast meadow. This scene would be difficult in Indonesia found that the majority of livestock kept in cages and only occasionally grazed.

After going through Princetown, we went back down the coast until they reached the main objectives, namely the Twelve Apostles in Port Campbell National Park.

Twelve Apostles

High cliff made of limestone formations lining are incredibly beautiful. Although called the Twelve Apostles - or the 12 apostles - the actual amount of coral that are still standing today only eight. Twelve Apostles is the natural landscape of Australia's most frequently photographed. Coral reefs are formed from the erosion of the ocean waves hit. Initially a large rock eroded bit by bit to form caves and cliffs gradually eroded to form the pillars of limestone that is very high up to 45 m.

Due to the harsh blow of sea water, some of the pillars collapsed. However, due to strong erosion, there is the possibility of the cliffs overlooking the ocean will form a new pillar in the future.

The best time across the Great Ocean Road

Spring in the month of August to October may be the best time to visit Australia in the south, including through the Great Ocean Road. Climate here is subtropical. In the winter, although the relative temperature not too cold (only reach about 4 degrees Celsius), wind from the direction of the poles will penetrate to the bone.

Meanwhile in Victoria in the summer, temperatures can reach over 40 degrees Celsius in the daytime. You may feel uncomfortable with the temperature is too high. In the spring, in addition to the appropriate temperature, some will be more beautiful panorama. You will be able to see the grass started to turn green on the go.
