In this episode, we leave our converted Ford transit campervan in our driveway and take off in Adam’s car. We hired an Airbnb house in Warrnambool. As the AirBnB was pet friendly, our cavoodle, Twyla could come too.
It’s great to see Australian tourism picking up with many people traveling around Australia in caravans, campervans, RVs, and camping in tents. Now don’t stress – we’ll be back in our van next week bringing you another very exciting adventure in our campervan. We have so many different vanlife videos to share with you this year and tips and tricks on van life, so definitely stay tuned for that.

Warrnambool is a city along the Great Ocean Road, in Victoria, Australia. Its main beach, the sandy Bathing Beach, runs in front of vast Lake Pertobe Adventure Park. The nearby Flagstaff Hill Maritime Village explores the area's seafaring history through a large shipwreck collection. Thunder Point Coastal Reserve, with its rocky ocean scenery, encompasses Shelly Beach. East is Logans Beach Whale Watching Platform.
Our Airbnb house was a 3 bedroom home, that was 102yrs old! It has plenty of charm with it’s rustic feel, and original home elements such as locks, doors and lead windows.
On our first day we checked out Stingray Bay which is a small beach and inlet behind the historic breakwater at Warrnambool. It was built in 1890 and is one of the more interesting and pretty parts of the coastline. We then walked the Port of Warrnambool. The major function of the Port of Warrnambool today is to provide safe havens and services to the commercial fishing industry, and recreational fishing and boating interests.
On our second day we visited the Warrnambool Undercover Sunday Market. This is a vibrant market for all ages, offering fresh fruit & vegetables, flowers, cakes & slices, toys & gifts, antiques and collectibles, handmade and custom-made goods, and more. Hot food and beverages are available. After the market, we visited Tower Hill Wildlife Reserve, which is part of an Aboriginal cultural landscape. Tower Hill is home to some of Australia's best-loved wildlife. Emus, kangaroos, koalas, swans, ducks and blue wrens all live inside this magnificent dormant volcano near the Great Ocean Road. You can walk across wetlands, craters and bushland and learn how the park was exploited by early settlers before being restored by volunteers. Tower Hill Wildlife Reserve sits in a large volcanic crater. It is one of Victoria's most fascinating and significant geological formations. Volcanic cone-shaped hills rise from the lakes.
It wasn’t the season to check out the whales, but we headed to Logan’s Beach. Almost every year between June and September, female Southern Right whales return to the waters of Warrnambool’s Logans Beach to calve. The whales often swim within a hundred meters of the shore and can be viewed from a specially constructed platform in the sand dunes or from the beach. A ramp allows easy access to the platform for people of all abilities. Southern Right Whales have been visiting Warrnambool for hundreds of years. Once they were hunted almost to the point of extinction, but since whaling was outlawed in 1935, their numbers have been growing.
The next day we left the Airbnb and headed down the Great Ocean Road to check out Loch Ard Gorge. The Loch Ard Gorge is one of the best-loved stop-off points along the Great Ocean Road. It’s situated in the Port Campbell National Park and is just three minutes from the world-famous formation of the Twelve Apostles. The picturesque gorge is home to a smooth, pearlescent bay and an inlet of clear, blue water. It’s flanked by two yellow-washed cliff faces and tufts of vibrant greenery.
We saved the best view to last – The Twelve Apostles. Rising abruptly from the tempestuous Southern Ocean, these limestone stacks are the highlight of the Great Ocean Road. They are best viewed at sunset when the yellow rock turns red, orange and every shade in between. Stop at the Twelve Apostles visitor center and walk the short trail to the windswept lookouts to see the dramatic sight of waves crashing against the famous sea stacks. The Twelve Apostles is one of Australia's most popular attractions all year round. You'll be lucky to have the lookouts to yourself, but there are likely to be much fewer people if you arrive earlier or later in the day.
