port campbell national park

在坎贝尔港附近的大洋路景色是最壮美的，几乎垂直的海岸崖壁是大自然鬼斧神工的杰作，陡峭的海岸岩壁仿佛人工修齐的，这是千百年海水的冲刷造就的奇观，蓝色的大海，雪白的海浪，赭色的岩壁，这一切看上去是那样的雄伟，随着海水不断冲击，一些象十二使徒岩这样的景致正在消失，但当大自然的伟大力量在毁灭某些旧事物的同时，也可能是创造某些新事物的开始，也许未来这里会出现新的景观。

去年在雅安看了沙漠里的“舰队”。这次在这里看了海中的。惊涛拍岸，巨石巍然耸立。日出日落，都是如此撼动人心！十二使徒岩，过去的沉船点……都是各种惊喜滴！

Absolutely breathtaking !! On hindsight i really wish if we had traveled by our own instead of travelling in a group (took a guided tour), so that we could have spent more time at the park, especially at the Loch Ard Gorge and the inlet...It will be such a loss for any tourist who is in Melbourne to miss the Port Campbell National Park. The only downside I came across was there were no recycling bins (i didn't see any except at the major parking bays), you would have to carry back the empty coffee cups !!

This is one of the many sights on the Ocean Road drive. Take time to view it from all the viewing sights, you can get some photos that will be stunning.

I work in tourism WA, I am around NPs and touristic spots and attractions all year long. This was my second visit to 12 Apostles. Amazing spot but very dirty. Litter everywhere, near lookouts, on the boardwalks, next to cigarette bins, in the grass areas, EVERYWHERE! We know people are rude especially when there is a big amount SO Victoria Tourism should look after it MUCH BETTER!!!!Visitor centre was shut. Toilet facilities were ok. Please find some VOLUNTEERS or someone that cleans up the area! It's disguising to see it like that! SHAME

and I wasn't disappointed! the weather could've given me a better performance as there was not enough sunlight to really bring out the colours and natural beauty of this place. the amount if international tourists that swarmed here during my mid week visit tells me that this place is very high on the global bucket list for many. i will bring my family here again soon. maybe the weather will help me take some great photos.

I have lived in Victoria all my life and never have been along Great Ocean Road. I just took a cousin from the Netherlands. We took our time and found the experience stunning. we had not booked accommodation, nothing at Apollo Bay so went up through the Otways and found a small motel there. Then continued on to The Twelve Apostles the following morning. We both loved the spectacle of it all, Photos do not do it justice. It is something everyone should experience.

Good in parts but one look out became very much like another. Lovely blue water and good photo opportunities. Peterborough beach vast and empty

I have visited the Port Campbell National Park 6 times. At least once a year. It is a beautiful reward towards the end of the most exciting parts of the Great Ocean road. Personally the drive after Port Campbell is good but not as thrilling. Not a big fan of heights I have found that it takes me a little time to acclimate to the 12 apostles. But the fencing is great and you are not really looking over a ledge. Best time to see 12 Apostles is in the morning before bus loads of tourists arrive. It can get really frustrating trying to navigate and get a good picture when there are a hundreds of people around. Gibson steps before the 12 apostles are great. Sandstone carved steps going down to a beach. Wouldn't recommend swimming as rips are pretty ferocious and sharp rocks just under the surface. Loch Ard Gorge is amazing. The Razorback is probably my favourite structure and easily rivals the 12 Apostles. I have found through my own trial and error that it is best to stay in Port Campbell as it is only a 5 min drive to the 12 Apostles. If visiting take your time. There are many stops and amazing scenery to take in. The worst way to see it is to rush and miss out on parts. Weather is always pretty cool so take layers of clothes to keep warm or to take off if it is sunny.

We explored the Great Ocean Road, it took my breath away, our daughter in law took us to see the 12 Apostles, stunning scenery. We went down to the beach to explore and to end an amazing day, we saw a penguin waddling towards us,fantastic

Visited the spectacular and historically significant Loch Ard Gorge today. Was extremely dissapointed in the stupidity of NUMEROUS foreign visitors who were jumping the clearly marked barriers for cliff top photos. Not only are you endangering your own life, but if you were to fall also the lives of those rescue workers who would need to come and get you. You are also trampling important native vegetation and adding to further erosion of the cliff tops. Be considerate as the danger you put not only yourself, others and the beautiful environment in are not worth your selfie.

Explored the Great Ocean Road and National Park on a weekend from Sydney. We drove along the Great Ocean Road from Torquay, and returned inland on the A1 to save time. Its worth doing this way as it is likely that you will want to spend longer exploring the attractions than planned (and also if you want to view the sights near sunrise or sunset, and are not staying in the area, travel time should be minimised!). It is a spectacular enough location in its own right, but with wild seas and high winds it is an even more primal experience. Strongly recommend taking layers of clothing, from swimming costumes all the way to sweaters (we swam at Loch Ard Gorge briefly, and the water was surprisingly warm)...Started a Gibson Steps (the only way to get down to beach and sea level near the Apostles), then on to the main viewing area, Loch Ard Gorge, London Bridge, Grotto, Bay or Martyrs. All attractions well signposted and well maintained for the tourist volumes. Final tip - take the best camera with you - if ever a place was set up for spectaculr pictures and memories, this is it.

Wild & windy weather (in January!) added to our experience as we spent much of our days walking & enjoying the breath taking scenery. Highly recommend you visit at least once, we'll be back for a longer stay.

We decided last minute to take a long overdue drive up the Great Ocean Road from Melbourne to see the 12 Apostles. We could have taken the A1 and got there quicker but the drive up the Great Ocean Road was a highlight almost as equal as the destination. Bay after beautiful bay provided unlimited photo opportunities and temptation to stop and make the most of every point. we stayed overnight at Apollo Bay which was one of many equally scenic places we could have chosen. From there the road was not so much coastal but after a good night's rest it made the arrival at the 12 Apostles even more spectacular. Even the overseas tourist that drove across the road in front of us from the left and then went in the wrong side of the road to go into the car park could have ruined our experience. The Apostles are breathtaking. As you stand at the many vantage points and take in not only the view but the taste of the sea air and the white crashing waves you can just get lost in the moment and imagine the timelessness of it all.If you go on to Port Campbell and want to grab a bite to eat PLEASE check out the Tripadvisor ratings of the eateries first. You'll thank me for that bit.

this national park keeps the nature for you, when I look up to tree tops, I felt unleashed. Also I found 2 foxes there!!! very cute animals!
