The Great Ocean Walk - March 2009
A group of Oncology mums are walking the Great Ocean Walk from March 20th to the 22nd, 2009
Opened in 2006, the new Great Ocean Walk spans 91 kilometres of one of the most spectacular stretches of coastline in Australia. If you think you already know this area from driving the Great Ocean road think again! The walk takes you to unspoiled and previously inaccessible terrain, far from crowds and traffic. Breathtaking coastal scenery, deserted wild beaches, sheer cliffs, historical lighthouses and shipwrecks, giant mountain ash forests, pristine river estuaries, abundant wildlife, dunes and coastal heathlands all await the intrepid hiker on this exciting adventure
The Great Ocean Walk extends from Apollo bay through the Great Otway National Park, to the famous Twelve Apostles near Port Campbell. Along the way it traverses some of Australia's most amazing coastal scenery, cutting through the Otway National Park where mountains and forest plunge dramatically to meet the Southern Ocean. The trail is rich with wildlife as the Otway National Park is home to over 60 threatened species, so expect to see Wallabies, Koalas, Echnidas and other iconic Australian wildlife on your hikes as well as abundant birdlife.
This walk offers some of the most spectacular and remote sections of the trail to showcase the wonderful diversity of scenery and habitats.
