๐Ÿ–๏ธ Apollo Bay Beach & Wild Koalas at Great Otway National Park ๐Ÿจ

#mytraveldiary #september2025 #greatoceanroad Set along the Great Ocean Road, Apollo Bay Beach is the very picture of seaside charm. Golden sands curve gracefully along turquoise waters, framed by rolling green hills in the distance. Itโ€™s a place where surfers chase waves, families picnic on the grass foreshore, and travelers pause to breathe in the crisp ocean air. The town itself hums with coastal character โ€” laid-back cafรฉs, fish and chip shops, and friendly locals welcoming you with a smile. ๐ŸŒŠ Beachside Bliss The beach is wide and inviting, perfect for a morning stroll, a refreshing dip, or simply basking under the sun with the soundtrack of waves in the background. At sunset, the sky paints itself in hues of pink and gold, reflecting on the water for a postcard-perfect moment. ๐ŸŒณ Into the Otways โ€“ Koala Encounters Just a short drive inland, the scenery shifts dramatically as the road winds into the lush rainforests of Great Otway National Park. Towering eucalypts line the sky, and if you look carefully, you may just spot one of Australiaโ€™s most beloved icons โ€” the wild koala, resting high in the branches. Unlike zoos or sanctuaries, here they live freely, and catching sight of one (or several) in their natural habitat is a truly magical experience. ๐ŸŒŸ Why Visit This Duo? โ€ข ๐Ÿ–๏ธ Relax on one of the Great Ocean Roadโ€™s most charming beaches. โ€ข ๐ŸŒณ Experience the cool, green contrast of the Otway rainforest. โ€ข ๐Ÿจ Spot wild koalas in their natural environment.
