#8 Australia Trip May 2024 Apollo Bay, VIC
Day 12 Great Ocean Road, Victoria I arrived in Melbourne last night and found the first hotel that had a bathtub —score! Driving in a big, unfamiliar city was a bit nerve-wracking, but I made it here safely. The Great Ocean Road has been on my bucket list since I first saw a picture of the "12 Apostles" back when I was living in Cairns in 2017. Finally, I made it! On my first day, I stopped by Apollo Bay to check out a couple of waterfalls. The hike to get to them was only a mile or two, but man,...
#7 Australia Trip May 2024 Last day of Western Australia
Day 11 Last day of Western Australia and leaving to Melbourne Since my second sea lion tour was canceled, I had a lot of time this morning before heading to the airport.

Although I wanted to find the beach where I took a stunning sunset picture 15 years ago, featuring a huge rock with a hole, I had no clue where it was, so I didn't bother trying to locate it. However,...
#5 Australia Trip May 2024 Jurien Bay, Western Australia
I stayed in Carnarvon, the next town south of Exmouth, located 379 km (230 miles) away. This place was just a stop to sleep, as I needed to drive eight hours the next day to reach my final destination in Western Australia. Day 10 Jurien Bay, WA I left Carnarvon around 8 am and embarked on another long drive. The weather was good, with clear blue skies. I saw a lot of roadkill kangaroos, which made me feel really sorry for them. Some were dead in the middle of the highway, so you need to watch out. While they’re not...
