Great Ocean Road Vlog Day 1 | Melbourne to Apollo Bay (Ep. 1 of 4)
Рет қаралды 97,204
Күн бұрынWelcome to the Great Ocean Road drive! A world famous road trip tour right here in Australia, a simple driving itinerary with stunning coastline and amazing food!... 🎬 Learn how to edit video with Dane - danegerandstacey.com/video-ed... ⬇ More Below ⬇
This is the first vlog in this Great Ocean Road series, with 3 more to come showing more of how we split up our days for the 4 day itinerary. We’ve spent a bit of time in Australia recently but the Great Ocean Road is a bucket list trip for us, so we’re beyond stoked to be here ticking it off!
We kick things off with the drive from Melbourne to Torquay, the gateway to the Great Ocean Road, for breakfast. This is the official starting point and the first change to see the epic coastline we’ll be driving by for the next 4 days.
From there a quick stop in Anglesea before stopping in to Live Wire Park in Lorne. Live Wire Park is powered by nature, the first completely off-grid elevated adventure park in Australia and honestly turned out to be so much fun that we couldn’t stop smiling and laughing like kids! The Shockwave Zip Coaster is the real highlight, a 525 meter long zip line charged by the sheer force of gravity. check out Live Wire Park here - livewirepark.com.au
Then time to explore Lorne, a real highlight of the day for us (as far as towns are concerned), definitely somewhere worth leaving time to explore.
From there our drive onto Apollo Bay is something we regret not really covering, if you’re reading this for inspo for your own trip and planning your itinerary, just note (as we stress in the next vlog) the drive from Lorne to Apollo Bay is STUNNING!
Footage note - this Melbourne and Great Ocean Road vlog series features a lot of drone footage provided by Tourism Australia and Destination NSW given the flying restrictions in the region/at various sites.
New Zealand is an incredibly beautiful country with so much to offer - but it's a lot larger than what you'd expect! We're producing the Ultimate New Zealand Travel Guide, a hub full of Kiwi knowledge to help you on your next adventures here. Take a look - danegerandstacey.com/nzguide

That rollercoaster that's not a rollercoaster looked epic. It would shoot right up to the number 1 spot on my bucket list if I was planning a trip there! I also loved the concept of a ball pit in a suspended cargo net. When I was at uni, a local soft play area (that was an epic soft play area) used to do 'student night' on Tuesdays and I loved it, but the ball pits always grossed me out, especially knowing tiny humans had been playing in them, and goodness knows how long ago it was all cleaned. Anything gross can just fall through the net at this place! 👍

So true! Having the pit in the suspended netting made it feel super clean and fresh, though we were having such silly fun I think we would have launched in there either way

After the epic road trip in Victoria, perhaps consider a Southern Right Whales watch at the bays along The Great Australian Bight in South Australia during Whale Season from May to October. We took scenic Flight and boat cruise today, and saw lots whales with their calves, it was a magical experience, such gentle creatures.

Might sound weird but I actually had to stop and think about this as well.
