The Great Ocean Walk

 

In March of 2017 the team embarked on walking the Great Ocean Walk along the South Western coast of Victoria starting Apollo bay and finishing at the Twelve Apostles. We had brilliant weather for the trip as well as a new addition to the crew - Ian Barnard. We decided to camp at every camp site along the way and as a consequence had short walking days that allowed us to explore the area along the way.

We started our walk from Apollo Bay on Friday the 31st March 2017 and finished up at the Twelve Apostles on the 7th April 2017.

This was a great walk along a varied landscape that included beach walks, Melaleuca forest walks, cliff top walks as well as visiting some of Victoria's ship wreck coast line. We saw plenty of wild life including the occasional Tiger Snake, Blue Tongue lizard, Koalas, wallabies and many different species of birds and plants.

2023 - Grampains Peak Trail

The idea to walk the Grampians Peak Trail was conceived in 2020 when the GPT was due to open. Due to Covid and delays in opening the trail our trip was delayed. In late 2022 planning began with the first order of business being to lock in a date. We eventually landed on the 16th April through to the 30th April.  The group for the whole trail - 160km over 13 days were Peter, Cameron, Jason, John M and Chis. Ian was to join us at Halls Gap and walk through to Barri Yalug.
