Bay of Islands, Great Ocean Road for Water H2O Thursday

January 23, 2024  •  26 Comments

 

Stretching out across 32 kilometres along the coast of Victoria between Peterborough and Warrnambool, it offers astounding ocean views and a collection of fascinating geological features.

While the beaches are accessible at certain points along this stretch of coastline, the most popular thing to do is admire the stunning sea views. Keep your eyes peeled for the colony of rare, black-faced cormorants. The Bay of Islands is home to the only marine cormorant nest in Victoria. You also have the chance to spot a variety of rare plant life, which includes the spectacular sun orchid and the delightfully scented spider orchid.

The area is traditionally Aboriginal, and the parkland is still owned by the Aboriginal people who have lived here for centuries. They still practice age-old traditions and maintain their strong connection to the land and water that occupies this part of the country. Nowadays, they work in conjunction with the local councils and government to ensure that the Bay of Islands is protected for generations to come. Understand the importance of the land to the Indigenous Australian community and learning about the history of the area can be done by taking heritage walks or reading the displays along the Great Ocean Road.

There are a total of three Bay of Islands along Victoria Coast. One located in Sorrento, Mornington Peninsula and the other two are off the coast of Great Ocean Road. I truly experimented various sorts of photography here. There are just too few good weathers to shoot. (Rainy days are just good for some angry clouds and brooding melancholy which is not exclusive to the region without visibility of the islands)

Would love to go out and climb one of those rocks, but looking at the churn of the water, I do not think it will be a good decision.
Thanks so much for participating and sharing at #WW 12. See you again next week!
