🐨Super Simple Guide to Seeing Koalas in Australia⭐️ 📍Koala Viewing Locations 1️⃣ Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary: The world's first and largest koala sanctuary, located on the outskirts of Brisbane. You can cuddle a koala and take photos between 11:00 and 12:15, and 14:00 and 15:30.🎈 2️⃣ Raymond Island: A 4-hour drive from Melbourne, followed by a ferry ride to the island. Walk the Koala Trail and see over 200 koalas.🌞 3️⃣ Great Ocean Road: A 1-hour drive from Melbourne. You can see koalas at Kennett River and Cape Otway.🐨 ⏰Best Time to Visit 🌇Early morning or late afternoon are the best times to see koalas, as they are more active. Different regions have different climates. Queensland is suitable year-round, while spring and autumn are better for visiting Victoria and New South Wales.😻 ⚠️⚠️Important Notes If you want to cuddle a koala, check each sanctuary's rules and photo times in advance. Keep quiet, do not use flash photography, and do not feed or disturb the koalas. Be careful when viewing koalas in the wild and follow the rules.⭐️⭐️

I spent 3D2N driving from Melbourne to 📍Great Ocean Road, before returning to Melbourne. The coastal views are one of the best in the world. Cool weather in summer (December) at around 17 degrees celcius in the day and 14 degrees celcius at night, so bring along your jackets all year round 🧥. 📍Apollo Bay Be sure to spend the night at Apollo bay and visit other attractions around the area and try the fresh oysters 🦪 and fish and chips 🐟 along the coasts! The forests around the area are refreshing and beautiful as well, with little elevation changes. 📍12 Apostles Spend the 2nd day driving from Apollo Bay to visit the 12 Apostles, to visit magnificent headland and bays with prominent stacks, formed by corrosion. It is exactly as pictured in geography textbooks. You can try activities such as surfing 🌊🏄 if you have the time along the beautiful coastlines, and drive or climb to various viewpoints to oversee the picturesque mountains and sea. #australiatrip #seascapes #victoria #downunder #hiking #nature #beach #melbourne #greatoceanroad #familytravel #myitinerary #localfood #couplestrip

The Great Ocean Road is one of Australia's most iconic travel routes, located in the state of Victoria. This approximately 243 km long trail stretches from Torquay to Allansford, offering spectacular views of the coast, unique rock formations and dense rainforest. Here are the key information and highlights: Main Attraction 1. Twelve Apostles Limestone rock formations rise from the sea, the result of thousands of years of erosion. The best place to enjoy the sunset and amazing views. 2. Loch Ard Gorge Small bay with steep cliffs and beautiful beaches. Saves the historical story of the sinking of the Loch Ard ship in 1878. 3. London Arch (formerly London Bridge) Natural rock formation that resembles a bridge. It partially collapsed in 1990. One of the popular locations for photography.#staycation #oceanpark #beachlife

Going to the Great Ocean Road, it would be a pity not to have any road trip photos, so I will post them here. - Renting a European car in Australia is much cheaper than in Thailand, so let's test drive it. Actually, I booked a Benz but got a BM, which was good. - Right-hand drive, drive on the left lane like in Thailand, not difficult to drive. - Thai driver's license is valid, no need to get an international driver's license. - The speed limit in the city is 60, on highways 80 and expressways 100. People here like to accelerate hard to cross red lights and brake to avoid exceeding the speed limit, which is funny. - Traffic laws here are quite strict and everyone follows them well. Luckily, I had experience clearing checkpoints in Morocco. When I came here, I was very careful. It's been a month since I came back and I still haven't gotten a ticket. I hope I'll be safe. - Warning signs are very reliable. They say there's construction ahead, but there really are people working there. They say to watch out for animals crossing the road, but there's a dead kangaroo on the side of the road. - Fill up the gas yourself and pay for it yourself at a minimart. First time filling up, I was a bit embarrassed because the queue was very long, but I still didn't forget to take a picture. - There are both free and paid parking spaces (with a limited parking hours). You have to look at the signs and pay at the booth. Finally, I don't love driving, even though I drive every day. End of review. #australia #greatoceanroad #roadtrips #rentalcar

The Great Ocean Road is one of Australia’s most breathtaking coastal drives—an absolute must-do. The winding roads hug the cliffs, offering dramatic ocean views, lush rainforests, and iconic stops like the Twelve Apostles, Loch Ard Gorge, and the Great Otway National Park. Every turn feels like a postcard. There’s plenty to explore, from seaside towns like Lorne and Apollo Bay to hidden beaches and waterfalls. Best enjoyed over a couple of days if you can, though even a day trip is unforgettable. Be sure to start early, pack snacks, and give yourself time to soak in the scenery—it’s pure magic. #beachlife #thingstodo #travel #seascapes #Australia

Winter in Melbourne was awesome! Ut was mum’s and bro’s first time there. I planned the whole trip and it was a well-deserved family time. Went for 8 days, taking Qantas cos I wanted mum to experience a good flight back and forth. We took sightseeing tours cos I’m not good at driving around. Booked the tours via Klook. Good choice to do so.

The Great Ocean Road in Melbourne is a stunning coastal drive renowned for its breathtaking scenery. Fun fact about the Twelve Apostles: I noticed something interesting in the Chinese introduction—it specifically tells Chinese visitors not to worry about counting the rocks. Historically, only 8 were ever recorded, and due to erosion, only 7 remain today. Yet, they’re still called the "Twelve Apostles"! This quirky naming adds to the charm, showing how nature and legend don’t always match up. #travel #beachlife

Australia’s Great Ocean Road remains a bucket-list drive, with its cliffs, rainforests, and iconic Twelve Apostles. But if you last cruised it in the 1980s, you’ll notice some bittersweet changes. Here’s what’s *not quite the same* today: ### 1. **The Solitude of the Open Road 🛣️** In the ’80s, this route felt like a hidden gem. Fewer tourists meant empty lookout points and quiet beaches. Today, summer brings bumper-to-bumper traffic 🚙💨, crowded parking lots, and selfie sticks at every turn. The magic of having waves or rainforests *all to yourself*? Rare now. ### 2. **Raw, Unmanaged Landscapes 🌿** Decades of erosion and tourism have reshaped the coast. The Twelve Apostles had nine limestone stacks in the ’80s; today, there are eight (one collapsed in 2005). Fences and boardwalks now protect fragile sites like Loch Ard Gorge, replacing the free-roaming access of the past. ### 3. **Quirky, Local Pit Stops 🎪** Gone are many family-run diners and rustic guesthouses. Quaint towns like Lorne and Apollo Bay now buzz with branded coffee chains 🏪, sleek vacation rentals, and souvenir shops hawking mass-produced koala keychains. The road’s original charm—think roadside fruit stands and hand-painted “Crayfish for Sale” signs—has faded. ### 4. **The Thrill of the Unknown 🗺️** Before GPS and Instagram, travelers relied on paper maps and local tips. Discovering hidden coves or waterfalls felt like a personal victory. Now, every secret spot is geotagged 📍, and TikTok influencers swarm “underrated” gems like the Grotto or Mait’s Rest. ### 5. **Wildlife Encounters (Without the Crowds) 🐨** Kangaroos and koalas once appeared unexpectedly along the route. Today, wildlife reserves and guided tours offer controlled experiences (for good reason—habitat protection!). But the joy of spotting a snoozing koala *without* a dozen cameras clicking? Rare. ### 6. **Affordable Adventure 💸** In the ’80s, petrol, fish-and-chips, and motels were cheap. Now, parking at major sites costs up to $15/hour, and coastal Airbnb prices rival Sydney’s. Even the iconic Apollo Bay scallop pie 🥧 has doubled in price! ### 7. **The “End of the Earth” Vibe 🌍** Cell service was nonexistent here in the ’80s, adding to the road’s remote allure. Today, 4G coverage and constant connectivity mean fewer “off-the-grid” moments. ### **How to Reclaim the ’80s Vibe** 🌟 - **Go Off-Season:** Visit in autumn/winter for misty cliffs and empty trails. - **Ditch the Itinerary:** Skip the Apostles at sunrise; explore lesser-known stops like Blanket Bay or Cape Otway Lightstation. - **Support Local:** Eat at pubs with chalkboard menus, not flashy bistros. **The Bottom Line** 🚗💨 While the Great Ocean Road is still stunning, it’s lost some of its wild, untamed soul. Yet, with a little effort, you can still find echoes of its ’80s spirit—just don’t expect to have them all to you

📍Great Ocean Road in Melbourne 4 hours by car from Melbourne CBD! I actually took 2 days to go there slowly on the back roads, so I stopped at a lot of places. It's completely different to see it in person than in photos👀 It was my first time to experience the Australian nature, and it's a famous place that appears in Mr. Children's songs, so it was a place I wanted to go to at least once. There were a lot of people, so I was very satisfied☺️
