6 Days in Melbourne

My Adventure at the 12 Apostles – Windy but Wonderful Experience! Visiting the 12 Apostles in Victoria was nothing short of breathtaking. The towering limestone stacks rising from the Southern Ocean created a dramatic and awe-inspiring sight. The shades of blue in the water, the rugged cliffs, and the sheer power of nature made it an unforgettable experience. But the funniest moment? The wind! I had no idea it could get so strong out there, my hat nearly flew off into the ocean! I had to chase it down while laughing at how ridiculous I must have looked. Lesson learned: hold onto your hats (and maybe leave the loose items in the car)! Recommendations for Visiting the 12 Apostles: ✔ Best Time to Visit: Sunrise or sunset—the colors are magical, and the crowds are thinner. ✔ Dress for the Wind: Even on a warm day, the gusts can be intense. A light jacket and secure hat (or no hat at all) are wise choices. ✔ Walk the Viewpoints: Don’t just stop at the main lookout—explore the different angles along the boardwalks for the best photos. ✔ Helicopter Ride (If You Can!): For an unforgettable perspective, consider a scenic flight over the Apostles. ✔ Combine with Nearby Stops: Loch Ard Gorge, Gibson Steps, and London Bridge are all must-sees along the Great Ocean Road. Despite the windy chaos, the 12 Apostles left me in complete awe. If you’re visiting Melbourne or driving the Great Ocean Road, this is a “must-see” just be prepared for a little adventure (and maybe a hat rescue mission)! Have you been? What was your experience like? 😊🌊
