Great Ocean Road Photo Tour
“Your chance to capture the last ones before they fall!”
There’s no denying that manmade masterpieces such as the Great Pyramids and the Great Wall Of China are among the World’s most astonishing treasures. Nonetheless there’s simply no surpassing the pure magic of a natural wonder like the Great Ocean Road for example. Exploring the World is not a matter of chance but of choice; and because the natural landscapes that surround us are changing at a fast pace, you may never have a chance to witness some of these natural wonders.
Today, you have the opportunity to be a spectator of twenty million years of wonder that traverses over 200km of tremendous coastline with breathtaking azure ocean views and ancient lush and verdant rainforests.
Start the journey and meet us in the vibrant Melbourne, jump in the car, buckle up, hold your breath and be ready for one of the most scenic drives in the World, the spectacular coastline Great Ocean Road along the jewel-like water of the wild and windswept Southern Ocean. As we keep running on the historic winding road, the treasure gets closer and closer and the views seem to get more jaw-dropping with its dramatic, rugged cliffs carved from the sea until we reach the magnificent limestone stacks known as the 12 Apostles. Despite its name, this natural wonder count only 8 Apostles left…. time is of the essence. The constant wind and water keep carving out caves in the soft rock and erode the rugged limestone cliffs and the continually fierce ocean storms keep rolling in, causing even more erosion and eventually provoking the limestone to collapse.
What say you? Are you ready to be overwhelmed with such a splendid landscape? Don’t wait, see it, capture it and immortalise it before it’s too late. Book today.
