Great Ocean Road - Port Campbell Section

great shots, and love the work you do. The effort you put in is enormous, but it also allows those that cannot get to some of the destinations a birds eye view of the fabulous countryside that Australia offers. Keep up the great work, and I am waiting for the next.

Thanks guys for the great feedback - I enjoy making the videos from our travels . I try to make them informative as that’s what we look for when we are looking for camping ideas. Cheers Mike and Kendra

If you visit Gibson Steps at low tide it is possible to go down the steps, turn right, walk to the cliffs at the far end of the beach and find the tunnel that leads to the much photographed 12 Apostle beach. The entrance to the tunnel can be hard to find. Part way down the tunnel there is an unusual tilting gate. Lift the gate, crawl underneath and go to the end of the tunnel. Walking on the beach with the Apostles rearing up above you is truly spectacular. The unusual gate is to keep animals out because there is a Fairy Penguin colony on the beach.

The tunnel used to be open to the public. I went through it several times in the 80’s. Unfortunately on my visits since then the gate has always been locked.

The Gibson Steps beach is still a great walk and it is enjoyable to find the tunnel entrance. There are probably too many tourists today to allow access. In the 80’s it was possible to walk the 12 Apostle beach by yourself.

Cheers,

I have surfed down there usually at a place called Dean's steps.
It it was just out of Pt Campbell past the first bridge on the road back to Gibbos.
To get there you would walk down a cutting to a hole in the cliff.
From there was a tunnel that met with a iron ladder onto the pebble beach.
Use to break left and right. Parks deemed it hazardous and blew it up.

Might go and have a look and see if it is passable.

It was a great break.
