Exploring The Brilliance That Is Apollo Bay Harbour

February 18, 2017 by Jade Craven Leave a Comment

I opted not to go to Apollo Bay for my parents last trip here. I had become overwhelmed and didn’t have the energy.

I regretted it as soon as mum started sending me photos from the harbour. “Forget Blanket Bay. It’s right here!”

I’ve since learned that there is a lot of diversity in the harbour. And, on this trip, I was intent on exploring it.

Here are the photos:

Visiting Marengo Rockpools Near Apollo Bay

August 9, 2015 by Jade Craven Leave a Comment

In 2014, I went to Apollo Bay with my parents and nephew. They had visited here a couple of months earlier. A relative has a unit there and she lets my parents stay there occasionally.

I had recommended they go to a number of places, including here. This had proven to be a real hit; they saw a magpie fish and a number of other critters. This visit, we mostly saw crabs and starfish. I’m unable to identify them as yet.

I’m not able to provide extensive commentary as the trip took place over a year ago. I do think that this place warrants multiple visits, over different times on different days. I could easily spend hours photographing the rock formations. It’s a place I’m very keen to return to.
