    We have been to many beachside towns in our travels, but Apollo Bay on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria was one of the best.

    It had an amazing coastline with large crashing waves. Our caravan park was right on a peninsual into the ocean with great beaches and rock pool walks, as well as a thriving seal colony on an island just out to see.

    We also saw our first koalas in the wild! We were thrilled to find 4 koalas in trees by a river as well as by the road.

    We also enjoyed the local town with a pub that was the southern-most on the mainland and a cafe with amazing vanilla slices!    Read more
