Great Ocean Road, Australia in HD, Part 1 - Otway National Park
Great Ocean Road, 12 Apostles, Twelve Apostles, Great Otway National Park. Located south west of Melbourne between the cities of Torquay and Allansford is a 243 km stretch of road named the Great Ocean Road. Built by returned soldiers in the depression following the first World War the Great Ocean Road is now listed by the Australian Heritage Trust.
This film is the first part of a 2 part series that explores the natural beauty in the Great Otway National Park. The journey commences on the Great Ocean Road with panoramic views and travel lapse footage. We are whisked into the mountains where we view the spectacular Erskine Falls before running into some of the local wildlife. We travel deeper inland where we view the Mountain Ash trees and the wet sclerophyll forests. These giants can live for 500 years. As we descend through the micro-flora we happen upon one of the Otway Nation Park's rare residents before again heading back to the Great Ocean Road. We end this part of the journey at the Castle Cove lookout viewing the wild Southern Ocean and Bass Strait.
Part 2 of the journey will take us into Port Campbell National Park and the Famous Twelve Apostles.

The Great Ocean Road - Boat Bay - Peterborough
Great Ocean Road Part 1 with Bill Gray, Boat Bay. Boat Bay is a place of ruggedness and beauty. It is located roughly 12 Kilometers West of Peterborough, a small town on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia. Holding a population of around 178 people. The boat ramp is steep and long, accessible by Four Wheel Drives only, and small boats. I have seen many cars stuck on the beach because they could not get back up the ramp once they had driven down.
There have been cars bogged with boat trailers attached, as the tide came in, ruining their vehicles.
There have also been many deaths in this area, most have been because of the unpredictable weather and ocean.
It is a very beautiful place, but it can also be very dangerous, so always take care.

South Australia
South Australia (abbreviated as SA) is a state in the southern central part of Australia. It covers some of the most arid parts of the continent. With a total land area of 983,482 square kilometres (379,725 sq mi), it is the fourth largest of Australia's states and territories.
South Australia shares borders with all of the other mainland states; it is bordered to the west by Western Australia, to the north by the Northern Territory, to the north-east by Queensland, to the east by New South Wales, to the south-east by Victoria, and to the south by the Great Australian Bight and the Indian Ocean. With over 1.6 million people, the state comprises less than 8% of the Australian population and ranks fifth in population among the six states and two territories. The majority of its people reside in the state capital, Adelaide. Most of the remainder are settled in fertile areas along the south-eastern coast and River Murray. The state's colonial origins are unique in Australia as a freely settled, planned British province, rather than as a convict settlement. Official settlement began on 28 December 1836, when the colony was proclaimed at the Old Gum Tree by Governor John Hindmarsh.

The Apollo Bay Music Festival
The Amazing Apollo Bay Music Festival.
The Apollo Bay Music Festival's is firmly on the map as a major annual tourist and community event for Apollo Bay and a significant Festival for Victoria. Over the years it has also established itself as a highly regarded Festival throughout Australia and on the international circuit.
The Festival continues to develop a growing Melbourne, interstate and international audience, attracting a multi-age group attendance of families, couples through to retirees. The Festival is the single biggest drawcard for visitors to Apollo Bay over the one weekend attracting on average 4500-5000 ticket holders and a further 3000 who partake in free activities along the foreshore.
The diversity of the programming attracts new and emerging audiences, along with established followers. Excellence, variety and surprise are all key ingredients to the program. More than seventy acts across eleven venues are presented over the three day event, utilising appropriate partner-licensed and non-licensed venues, combined with two large marquee stages along the foreshore. The Festival prides itself in producing a safe and festive environment and is conscious of these factors in its program delivery.
The Apollo Bay Music Festival is set in a backdrop of Victoria's Great Ocean Road, one of the most scenic coastlines in Australia. In 2010 the Festival continued its carbon offset program, with the help of the Southern Otway Landcare Network and Landcare CarbonSMART. All carbon emissions generated through the running of the Festival were offset in plantings of biodiverse native forest, located along the Great Ocean Road, in the Southern Otways. These carbon offset plantings are verified by Landcare CarbonSMART and they meet Kyoto protocols. Whilst offsetting the Festival's emissions, they also provide important habitat for native fauna and protection of our waterways. A contribution from ticket sales funds this project.
The region boasts significant activities to enhance the visitor experience. Alliances are growing in their support and understanding of a co-operative marketing approach towards the event. Seasonal factors are important and complimentary to plans with the event being held in Autumn.
Apollo Bay is a three hour drive from Melbourne and located between Lorne and Cape Otway on the Great Ocean Road. Driving via the Great Ocean Road, it is one and a half hours from Anglesea and one hour from Lorne. Driving inland from Geelong via Deans Marsh, it is a similar distance.
Alongside swimming and surf beaches, Apollo Bay has a large boat harbour which is home to a major fishing fleet. The town's commercial centre, which features a good selection of restaurants, cafes and visitor services, is situated along one side of the Great Ocean Road, overlooking a wide, grassy foreshore which fronts the main swimming beach. Another popular beach is located at the mouth of the Barham River in Mounts Bay. Apollo Bay's beaches and marina are set in the backdrop of rolling green hills, a pretty foreshore and shopping precinct.
Artists who have performed at the Apollo Bay Music Festival over the years include The John Butler Trio, Tiddas, Kasey Chambers, You Am I, Bob Brozman, The Whitlams, Eddi Reader, Robyn Hitchock with REM's Peter Buck, Scott McAughey & Bill Rieflin, Tex Perkins, The Australian Art Orchestra, Joe Camileri, Kate Miller-Heidke, The Whitlams, Vince Jones, Jimmy Little, Karma County, Flacco & The Sandman and The Choir of Hard Knocks... just to name an eclectic few.

Gold Coast Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia
Gold Coast – Australia’s place to be for lovers of sun, sand, sights and sea! Check out the top spots in this incredible beachside destination and see why the region is a firm favorite for travelers.
When ready, browse vacation packages to Gold Coast:
Australia’s #GoldCoast is in the heart of subtropical Queensland, rife with natural beauty and a human spirit dedicated to vitality, fun, and enjoying life. The skyline of Gold Coast practically dips its toes in the ocean, and much of the area is rich in lush greenery and waterfalls.
The north coast of this city began as a #vacation retreat in the 1850s and maintains its position as the Gold Coast’s heart and soul of entertainment and surfing. The south coast has a slower vibe and is a bit more relaxed.
Remember that Gold Coast also happens to be the theme park capital of Australia, which helps drive Gold Coast tourism and serves as a nice complement to the lazy beach life.
Top off your trip down under with a #visit to Mount Tamborine, a 30-minute drive inland from the coast. On the ridge of a volcano, Mount Tamborine offers a bounty rainforest trails.
For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.
