Located about three minutes drive west of the 12 Apostles, the Loch Ard Gorge offers views not second to the 12 Apostles itself. A short walking path takes you to a number of viewing points that offer beautiful views of the surrounding seas and the giant cliffs. But, the best view is reserved for those who take the short flight of stairs down to the beach. Check out my gallery in Flickr for some breath-taking views from the beach. This is a s
Located within the Freycient National Park, Wineglass Bay is a beautiful bay and a stretch of white sand at the end of a 3 – 4 hour (return) hike. There is a lookout which is about a 45 minute walk from the car park.
From a photographic perspective, there are a few places that would pique any photographers’ interest in Phillip Island. Out of these, in my view, The Pinnacles is definitely the most interesting and beautiful location in Phillip Island to photograph. I might even go as far as saying that it’s one of the most beautiful locations in Victoria overall.
The first time I went there was during a casual visit to Phillip Island, so I wasn’t fully prepared to take full advantage of the photographic opportunities available at this location. You can capture some really beautiful views from the viewing platform along the walking track. But, if you want to capture some truly breathtaking views, you have to take a few rough steps and go down to the beach. So, I came back that first time thinking that I need to come back better prepared.
It’s an easy walk from the car park to the Pyramid Lookout. There are some really nice, easy walking tracks with great views of the surroundings. The jagged rock formations around the pyramid rock account for some really beautiful views.
It’s a relatively easy walk from the car park to the Pinnacles Lookout, that would take about 30 to 40 minutes. Along the walk you can enjoy beautiful views of the coastline as well as some concessional life. Once at the lookout, it is a truly breathtaking view of the rocky formations below. Would look even better later in the afternoon with the sunset.
The Low Head Lighthouse is a well maintained lighthouse with scenic views of the surrounding coast line. No access to the lighthouse itself.
Scenic area for a walk and to see the Bicheno Blowhole in action. Would recommend to visit in the evening (or, when the tide is coming in) to see more water sprouting from the blowhole.
Bay of Fires is a beautiful place with a lovely beach with the colored rocks adding contrast to the scenery. Best time to visit would be towards evening when the sun is going down, as this would add a lot more drama to the scenery.
