Great Ocean Road

Mum and I had read about beautiful rock formations of Castle Cove in Written In Stone. This brilliant and inspiring book about the geological history of the Great Ocean Road contains many pictures of the different landscapes.

Mum fell in love with the pictures from Castle Cove and we decided to visit. The main problem was that we struggled to find any information to get to the main beach. We asked at the Information Centre and the lady mentioned the lookout and that it was part of the Great Ocean Walk. I did find some scattered information about the beach online but not much.

You can access the beach from the lookout. However, it isn’t well signposted and it is quite steep.

We discovered Artillery Rocks by accident. We needed somewhere to stop briefly when driving down to Apollo Bay and found this beautiful secret place just outside of Lorne.

It doesn’t look like much from the lookout but it has brilliant rock formations. We spent about half an hour here before we had to move on. It’s a fantastic place to get photographs or just watch the waves come in.

It’s located east from Jamieson’s River. We are definitely planning to return and spend more time.
