Bay of Islands, Victoria, Australia

Worth a stop!
A land and seascape sculpted by the elements over millennia. Arches, islands and rock stacks are dotted along a wild coastline of beach coves and spectacular lookouts. The wild Southern Ocean has carved a stunning collection of rock stacks and sheltered bays with clifftop walks, scenic lookouts and small beach coves near Peterborough along the Great Ocean Road. Perhaps overshadowed by the Port Campbell and the Twelve Apostles down the road, the Bay of Islands Coastal Park offers just equally spectacular experience without the crowds. Dogs are welcome on a lead at Sandy Cove near Murnanes Bay.

Whale Of A Time
Wow! This is certainly worth seeing and is quite magical. I was lucky with my binoculars to see a whale as it was moving up the coast. There is plenty of bird life and the formations of the rocks are stunning. If it is sunny, the views are outstanding. I am told penguins visit this area and NZ fur seals but we did not see any.

Picturesque rock formations
The Bay of Islands is basically the last natural attraction along The Great Ocean Road if you are travelling West, or the first if you are travelling East. It is just past, or just before, as the case may be, The Bay of Martyrs. It's pretty easy to find due to the big, brown tourist sign announcing it's presence. There is a decent sized car park. The Bay of Islands is quit picturesque so bring your camera. It's like a test run for The 12 Apostles, smaller but still quite spectacular. If your time is limited it may not be worth travelling this far to see it but if you have a more relaxed itinerary I would definitely recommend it.
