Es una de las carreteras panorámicas más hermosas del mundo. La ruta que recorre se abre camino entre impresionantes cabos, bajando hasta casi tocar playas desiertas, cruzando las desembocaduras de caudalosos ríos y a través de densa vegetación y de pequeñas y encantadoras villas, ofreciendo sobrecogedoras vistas en cada curva. Partiendo de Melbourne las ciudades turísticas están enlazadas por vías que ofrecen fantásticas vistas. Muchos consideran que la sección entre Lorne y Apollo Bay es la más pintoresca. En el interior, la sección que parte de Apollo Bay, la carretera pasa por Great Otway National Park, una zona rica desde el punto de vista ecológico. Entre Port Campbell y Port Fairy, el paisaje presenta acantilados y aguas bravas, aquí te esperan los gigantescos monolitos The Twelve Apostles, en el Port Campbell National Park, son un espectáculo impresionante, esculpidos gracias a la acción de las olas y del viento del océano del sur. Los viejos puertos balleneros ofrecen un retazo de las primitivas industrias de Australia, y Warrnambool es un centro de observación de ballenas. Llegaremos a Kangaroo Island, un paraíso en la costa sudoeste de Adelaida para admirar Remarkable Rocks y Admirals Arch, dos de los lugares más extraordinarios de la costa australiana. Playas secretas en la bahía de Stokes, bahías escondidas y una excelente gastronomía completan el atractivo de la isla. ¡Sin duda una extensión perfecta para cualquiera de nuestros viajes! 1 Día 1: Melbourne – Geelong – Great Ocean Road: Torquay – Anglesea – Lorne – Apollo Bay (196 km) Recogida de nuestro coche de alquiler para explorar la espectacular carretera Great Ocean Road, que serpentea junto al Océano Antártico.

Apollo Bay: es una ciudad costera en el suroeste de Australia. Situada en el lado oriental del Cabo Otway. Es una de las poblaciones más grandes de la Great Ocean Road y alberga una comunidad muy unida de pescadores, artistas, músicos…Las colinas crean un telón de fondo de postal. De invierno a primavera, las ballenas francas del sur llegan a la zona principalmente para criar y dar a luz en aguas más cálidas y tranquilas. Día 2: Apollo Bay – Costa de los Naufragios – P.N Port Campbell – Warrnambool (165 km) Hoy recorreremos la “Costa de los Naufragios”, llamada así porque en las décadas de 1830-1930, más de 200 navíos se hicieron pedazos en esta bella y accidentada costa suroeste de Victoria, una de las más traicioneras del mundo. Podremos ver los numerosos faros de esta costa. Llegaremos a Cabo Otway, una de las zonas más húmedas del estado con un litoral muy escarpado donde se encuentra el faro más antiguo de Australia. Continuaremos hasta el Parque Nacional Port Campbell, que alberga los “12 Apóstoles”, conjunto de 12 torres de piedra caliza que han quedado en medio del océano tras milenios de erosión que las separaron de la tierra firme. Peñascos de hasta 45m de alto situados en la costa. Desde los diferentes miradores sobre la costa sólo es posible ver 7 de ellas, ya que las otras quedan ocultas a la vista y sólo es posible verlas desde el mar o desde el aire. Alberga también el “Loch Ard Gorge” es la playa donde acaeció la historia de los dos supervivientes del naufragio Loch Ard que se refugiaron en su orilla y el “Puente de Londres-London Arch”. Seguiremos hasta Warrnambool, uno de los mejores lugares en Australia para ver ballenas, que llegan a esta costa a tener a sus crías, entre los meses de junio y octubre. Llegada y alojamiento. Día 3: Warrnambool – Port Fairy – Portland – Cabo Bridgewater – Mount Gambier (180 km) Nuestro destino hoy es llegar a Mount Gambier donde podréis visitar los lagos volcánicos de los alrededores y el jardín Sunken.

Cerca de la ciudad, está el Cabo Bridgewater con un impresionante arco de 4km de la bahía es una de las playas de arena blanca más bonitas de Australia. Llegada a Mount Gambier, situada en un antiguo volcán extinguido y rodeado por lagos de cráter como el Lago Azul, llamado así por los colores intensos que adquiere entre los meses de noviembre y febrero. Alojamiento. 2 Día 4: Mount Gambier – Cabo Jervis – (508 km) – Ferry a Kangaroo Island Hoy empezaremos temprano nuestro viaje por la Princes Highway para llegar a la fabulosa Kangaroo Island y disfrutar de las playas cristalinas y los bellos acantilados. De camino recomendamos visitar Tantanoola Caves, a 16km de Millicent. Es la única cueva de una sola cámara de piedra rosa dolimita. Parar en Beachport, fundado como puerto ballenero en 1830 hoy día es un lugar tranquilo de playa. En las dunas de las afueras de este pueblo encontraremos “Piscina de Siloam” excelente para nadar y flotar ya que sus aguas son siete veces más saladas que el mar. Pasaremos por el Parque Natural Little Dip que bordea la costa a lo largo de 13km hasta llegar a Robe por Nora Creina, con varios tipos de hábitats, como lagos, humedales, dunas y playas bonitas. También pasaremos por el Parque Nacional Coorong, fértil paisaje de lagunas separadas del océano que bordea la costa a lo largo de 145km desde Kingston hasta Lago Alexandrina. Continuaremos hasta Cabo Jervis para coger nuestro ferry que nos llevará a Kangaroo Island. Llegada y alojamiento. Kangaroo Island es un paraíso en la costa sudoeste de Adelaida, su punto más cercano al continente está a 13Km de Cabo Jervis en la punta peninsular de Fleurieu en el estado de Australia Meridional. Tiene unos 155km de largo y 57km de ancho, con una población de apenas 4.400 personas, es un paraíso virgen para las aves y animales nativos de Australia. El hecho de no tener depredadores hace que sea un paraíso para gran parte de la fauna autóctona y por ello podremos ver en esta isla desde lobos marinos a koalas, pingüinos, wallabies y canguros. La isla cuenta además con un paisaje impresionante; acantilados escabrosos, bahías protegidas entre escarpados cabos, densos bosques, gran vegetación nativa y onduladas colinas de cultivo son sólo algunas de las maravillas. Día 5: Kangaroo Island Día libre para disfrutar de este paraíso natural de Australia donde podremos ver lobos marinos, koalas, canguros, pingüinos, aves autóctonas, wallabies en un entorno impresionante de acantilados, playas, bosques, bahías... Alojamiento. Recomendamos visitar las gigantes rocas de granito llamadas Remarkable Rocks y Admirals Arch donde podremos apreciar la fuerza de la naturaleza en estado puro. También recomendamos el Parque Nacional de Flinders Chase, uno de los más antiguos e importantes ya que engloba casi el 20% del territorio y contiene la flora y fauna más singular de la isla. Un tercio de la isla nunca ha sido limpiado de vegetación natural y el matorral espeso del eucalipto es el hábitat de muchas especies de vida silvestre, muchas son raras o están extinguidas en el continente. Recomendamos pasear por Seal Bay o Bahía de las focas para ver la colonia de leones marinos. Día 6: Kangaroo Island – Ferry a Cabo Jervis – Adelaida (107 km) Cogeremos el ferry que nos llevará a Cabo Jervis. Seguiremos con nuestro coche de alquiler hacia el norte por la Península de Fleurieu, zona de viñedos, olivares y almendros hasta Adelaida. 3 INFORMACIÓN ALQUILER DE COCHES.

  • Trip to Australia March 4 to April 3, 2014
    TRIP TO AUSTRALIA MARCH 4 TO APRIL 3, 2014 We timed this trip so that we'd be in Australia at the beginning of their fall season, reasoning that had we come two months earlier we would have experienced some of the most brutal summer weather that the continent had ever known. Temperatures over 40°C (104°F) were common in the cities that we planned to visit: Sydney (in New South Wales), Melbourne* (in Victoria), and Adelaide (in South Australia); and _____________________________________________________________ *Melbourne, for example, had a high of 47°C (117°F) on January 21; and several cities in the interior regions of NSW, Vic, and SA had temperatures of about 50°C (122°F) during Decem ber-January. _______________________________________________________________ there were dangerous brush fires not far from populated areas. As it turned out, we were quite fortunate: typical daily highs were around 25°C (although Adelaide soared to 33°C several days after we left it) and there were only a couple of days of rain. In m y earlier travelogs, I paid tribute to m y wife for her brilliant planning of our journey. So it was this time as well. In the months leading up to our departure, we (i.e., Lee) did yeoman (yeowoman? yo, woman?) work in these areas: (1) deciding which regions of Australia to visit; (2) scouring web sites, in consultation with the travel agency Southern Crossings, for suitable lodging; (3) negotiating with Southern Crossings (with the assistance of Stefan Bisciglia of Specialty Cruise and Villas, a fam ily-run travel agency in Gig Harbor) concerning city and country tours, tickets to events, advice on sights, etc.; and (4) reading several web sites and travel books.

  • Von Halls Gap Nach Port Campbell Wir Kamen Von Halls Gap, Noch Ein Stück Auf Der A1 Und Wir Erreichten Die Great Ocean Road Kurz Nach Warrnambool
    GREAT OCEAN ROAD - „ ein DENKMAL“ in Australien Die Great Ocean Road führt heute, im Süden beginnend, von TORQUAY bis ALLANDSFORD und weist als Gesamtlänge 243 km auf. Da dieser, heute weltberühmter Straßenzug inzwischen eine Touristenattraktion ersten Ranges geworden ist und als Wirtschaftsfaktor ( Hotels, Restaurants, Motels, Souverniergeschäfte, Surf u.Tauchschulen usw. ) nicht mehr wegzudenken ist, wurde diese, nach 14-jähriger Bauzeit geschaffene Küstenstraße am 7. April 2011 als DENKMAL in die Australien National HERITAGE-Liste eingetragen. London – Arch, früher London Bridge ( der erste Bogen ist am 15.1.1990 eingebrochen ) ...von Halls Gap nach Port Campbell Wir kamen von Halls Gap, noch ein Stück auf der A1 und wir erreichten die Great Ocean Road kurz nach Warrnambool. Bald war der Ozean mit vielen weiße Schaumkronen zu sehen. Zu beiden Seiten der Straße niedere Büsche und immer wieder tolle Ausblicke zur Küste. Wir hielten in der Bay of Martyrs gegen 11.30 Uhr. Bei den Felsen schlugen die Wellen an, es blies ein kalter Wind. Um 13 Uhr erreichten wir Port Campbell, im Best Western waren wir zu früh, so fuhren wir ins Restaurant 12 Rocks zum Essen. Das Wetter hatte sich gebessert, doch die See war sehr rau, große Wellen rollten in die Bucht von Port Campbell. Nach kurzer Suche war auch unser Hotel gefunden. Nach dem Check In gleich wieder zurück auf die Great Ocean Road. Nicht weit entfernt lagen die herrliche Felsformationen. Ein großer Felsenbogen trotzt hier der Steilküste und den Wellen. Schaumkronen sammelten sich vor dem Bogen und wenn ein Berg Schaum aufgetürmt war, wurde er vom Wind hindurchgeblasen.

    a Great Ocean Road and Kangaroo Island Departs 18th February 2022 Itinerary correct as at 30 Jun, 2021, but subject to change. www.bluedottravel.com.au $6,950 pp Ex Mel, twin-share, excludes domestic flights Single supp $1,200 GREAT OCEAN ROAD AND KANGAROO ISLAND MELBOURNE TO ADELAIDE Coastal journeys don’t get much more spectacular than the Great Ocean Road. Following the Great Ocean Road is an experience that encapsulates all our great country has to offer. Considered by many to be the Aussie equivalent of California’s celebrated drive from LA to San Francisco, the Great Ocean Road was built at the end of WWI by nearly 3,000 returned soldiers living in camps set up along the route, using picks, shovels and crowbars. The road offers outstanding views of Bass Strait and the Southern Ocean, with striking and dramatic natural rock formations including Loch Ard Gorge, the Grotto, London Bridge (renamed London Arch in recent years after the ‘bridge’ partially collapsed) and, most famously, the Twelve Apostles. Beginning in Melbourne and ending in Adelaide, you will journey west along the ocean road, taking in some of Victoria and South Australia’s most iconic and spectacular coastal scenery. Along the way, you will visit heritage sites, gorges, sink holes, National Parks, wine growing regions and seaside villages. There will be extraordinary wildlife encounters, and plentiful gourmet offerings. We’ll have overnight stops in Lorne, Mt Gambier, Robe, Port Fairy and Kangaroo Island. During our stay on Kangaroo Island, we’ll visit the wildlife park to hear of the extraordinary efforts from locals to rescue and treat injured wildlife during the recent bushfires.

    DESTINATION FOCUS AustRALIA’S SHIPWRECK Coast ROADAustralia’s so-called Shipwreck Coast in the South East ofT the countryR boasts IP spectacular beaches and fabulous swimming spots, says Aaron Davis. With the majority of Australians living in cities and towns near its endless coastline, combined with Australia’s warm climate and sandy beaches, it’s not surprising that open water swimming in all its forms is a popular pastime for locals and visitors alike. One of the most spectacular parts of the country is the Great Ocean Road or “Shipwreck Coast” region in Australia’s South East ‒ just to the west of Melbourne, Australia’s second-largest city. This string of beaches and small coastal downs is easily accessed from Melbourne’s Tullamarine airport. From there it’s just under 90 minutes to drive to Torquay which is a great kick-off point for your Great Ocean Road adventure. SEEKING THE ADVICE OF LOcaLS Take a swim in the IS A GOOD WAY TO DISCOVER blue waters of Australia EXCITING RIVER SWIMS 62 AUSTRALIA’S SHIPWRECK COAST EXPLORE The 243km (151-mile) road was built by returned soldiers between 1919 and 1932, and is the world's largest war memorial.

Alternatively, if you make your way to Mornington Peninsula on ROAD TRIP the other side of Melbourne you should be able to hook up with one of the private charters that take groups out to experience swimming with dolphins.

Un an. Et plus si affinités. Ce projet, que j’ai à cœur, n’est pas neuf. Quand je suis parti deux mois en vacances là-bas, en février et mars 2009, je suis un peu tombé amoureux. Je n’étais par- ti qu’après avoir subi la brusque envie de changer de vie, de voir le monde. Je n’avais quasiment jamais quit- té la France, et le fait que des amies partent en Aus- tralie cette année-là m’a motivé à aller y faire un tour. Car on pouvait faire difficilement plus loin pour un premier voyage en avion. Mais tout cela, je l’ai déjà raconté, en large et en travers1, donc je ne vais pas m’éterniser. L’Australie m’a conquis et depuis lors, je n’ai eu qu’une envie, c’est d’y retourner plus long- temps, pour en voir plus, en vivre plus. Trois ans et demi plus tard c’est acté : je reverrai l’Australie dans un mois. Pour un an au moins. Cette fois-ci, je ne pars plus seul, nous partons à deux.
