It is the only entrance for shipping into Port Phillip and hence into Melbourne. Because of large tidal flows through the relatively narrow channel from the bay to the ocean, and a high rocky seabed, The Rip has claimed many ships and lives. Geographically, it is t

You get good views of the Rip from Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale as well as Point Nepean Park but the best area is between Queenscliff and Point Lonsdale. It is great on a windy day or when the tide is changing and you can see the imporessive power of the water as ships go through the tree mile entrance to Port Phillip Bay.

Twelve Apostles

Experience the awesome natural beauty of the world-famous Twelve Apostles. Rising abruptly from the tempestuous Southern Ocean, these seven limestone stacks are the highlight of the Great Ocean Road. They are best viewed at sunset when the yellow rock turns red, orange and every shade in between.

Great views and photo opportunities. Busy place, big parking lot, many tourists visiting (and we were there on a quiet day with foul weather). So fight your way towards the edge of the viewing platforms, stand your ground between all the selfie sticks and photograph one of Australia's great coastal views. After all, they may not be there much longer.
