 Me at the Big Tree by Kate-Me
The tree is an Otway Messmate and is around 300 years old.
It has been ravaged by fire several times in its lifetime, yet it is still alive and growing Leave a Comment Directions: near Lavers Hill on the Great Ocean Rd (towards the 12 Apostles)

 Maits Rest Boardwalk by Kate-Me
Clinging to the underside of the tree fern canopies
you can see tiny glow worms, if you look very very carefully. They look like tiny winking stars and make me feel like I'm in an enchanted wood. Some times of the year there are more than others - you can check with the great Visitor Information Centre in Apollo Bay which is right on the beach foreshore opposite the town shops.
There is another walk in the hills called Paradise where one can also see the glow worms, but you almost need a 4WD to access the rough gravel road, then walk across country, cross a creek, then tread a narrow earthen pathway over tree roots and obstacles in the dark, so I wouldn't recommend that one at night. A beautiful walk in daylight hours though if you can get there.

 Torquay Beach by Sweetberry1
The famous 'Bells Beach' is in this area, so it can get quite crowded when the surfing competitions are on. Leave a Comment Directions: Torquay

The Warrnambool Maritime Museum is particularly interesting for the large amount of intact artefacts on display which were salvaged by diving the Shipwrecks of the area. One such item is a 2 1/2 foot figurine of a peacock, perfectly intact. Leave a Comment Directions: See Tourist Information Centre.

'Surf Coast' : Torquay, Anglesea, Lorne, Bells Beach
Touristic places invaded by locals to satisfy a vital need : SURF!
Waves there are famous (but when we were there, the ocean was ABSOLUTELY FLAT!) Leave a Comment Directions: West from Melbourne on the 'Great Ocean Road' to Adelaide

Famous for the Twelve Apostles and historic shipwrecks.
Getting there: The 250 km drive from Melbourne via the Princes Highway takes about three hours. A more scenic but longer and winding route, the famous Great Ocean Road takes about five hours. Leave a Comment
