The Bay of Islands was beautiful. We spent 2 hours exploring, even though we were only passing through. Well worth a visit, the rugged coastline is amazing! No crowds surprisingly, but I think it's only a matter of time. Bird life and wildlife all around. More

Go there to avoid the crowds at the 12 Apostles, the view of the ocean and its waves is just as stunning! More

Just a short drive from Warrnabool, the lookout has a wonderful view of sandstone stacks and a sculpted coastline, in my (and my kids') opinion, far better than the famous Twelve Apostles. More

The views of off-shore rock stacks make this drive one of the most amazing in the world. Of the 10-12 specific locations, the Bay of Islands is a tranquil, visually stunning location. We also recommend the sometimes missed "Grotto", some 25 kilometres to the East. More
