We stayed at Apollo Bay and travelled into the park each day via route C119. We travelled at 10am on a winters day with the sun coming through the tree canopy...a great drive through beautiful southern Australian forest. We took our time and visited the water falls...which were fantastic due the rain recieved the two previous days. The walks required a good pair of shoes and are not difficult just a bit up and down....but very enjoyable. There are areas to picnic with tables and toilets. Some areas allow camping. We did our trip in winter with rainy days....for the waterfalls, it was perfect.

Yes people, visit this at low tide. A bunch of us were hiking the Great Ocean Walk and Wreck Beach was at the end of the day's strolling. Down 333 steps (we counted) which wasn't too hard unless your knees are going on you - although I thought it was actually easier going up than down. We arrived at low tide - suspect that was more good luck than good timing - and although it tried to rain on us, sun shone through and we fossicked along the beach, took a heap of pics with the rusty ancient anchors, marvelled at the power of the sea and had a nice cup of tea on the rocks. As others have commented, it's a damned dangerous beach and if you want to swim here, you're completely nuts. But it's a pleasure to meander along when the tide is out so go for it!

**Temporary closed** At this remote river crossing deep among the ancient forests and gullies of the Great Otway National Park, the Aire River quietly cascades over rocks, providing a gentle soundtrack for a wander. The crossing is just north of the Triplet Falls, the three distinct cascades that make up one of the most impressive waterfalls in the Otways. Further up, the Otway Fly allows for wandering among the tree

Stopped here on a detour on our way from Apollo Bay to the Twelve Apostles and enjoyed it more than any other stop on the GOR and would list this as one if the most enjoyable things we did on our trip to Australia. The drive out to the lighthouse is a nice once though some lovely countryside and forest where wild Koalas can often be seen in the roadside trees. The self- guided walk around the site was very interesting, especially the old telegraph hut and keepers accommodation and it was fascinating finding out what life was like living in such a remote spot in the Victorian era. Climbing the lighthouse itself was an exhilarating experience with spectacular views at the top. The cafe was great and the bush tucker & aboriginal history talk was superb lasting well over an hour and giving us an opportunity to taste some of the native plants. A thoroughly enjoyable visit!
