Travel Video: Great Ocean Walk | We walked from Apollo Bay to the Twelve Apostles!

Two weeks ago, Jesse and I hiked the Great Ocean Walk for a little break from busy Melbourne life. We had a great time, and as I did before on my website, I made daily blogs and vlogs about the walk. It was fantastic that so many people followed along and reacted significantly to the videos. I’ve decided to put all the days together in a full after-movie this time. This way, the atmosphere and beauty of this walk get reflected even better. I’ll also share the daily videos if you still need to see them below.

The Great Ocean Road is a classic traveller‘s trip along the western coast of Victoria in Australia. It is a popular destination amongst backpackers who usually combine it with travelling to Melbourne. The only problem with doing it by car is that you miss out on many fabulous places which aren’t reachable. Ever since I arrived in Melbourne, I have been looking for alternatives. Later, things came together like a puzzle when I found out about the official Great Ocean Walk, a 104 km trail from Apollo Bay to the 12 apostles.

It took us a while to get ready for this trip. We both had to take time off in the hostel where we were working and find eight days to go on our walking holiday. Slowly but surely, things came together, and it was the day before our trip. Because the 104 km walk is remote and doesn’t have any shops on the way, we had a long day planning and preparing ahead. Besides testing all our camping gear, we had to ensure we wouldn’t get hungry on the way. Luckily, everything worked out well, and the result gets shared in the video below! 🙂
