#9 Australia Trip May 2024 Great Ocean Road

Day 12, Great Ocean Road I rocked up to the 12 Apostles around noon, and it was super cloudy. Snapped a few shots and then headed over to Gibson Steps, where you can hit the beach. I hoofed it from the 12 Apostles parking lot, bit of a walk. (You can park at Gibson Steps, but spots are seriously limited). More stairs, gotta love 'em! Then, lo and behold, I find out this beach isn't the spot to see the 12 Apostles. Seriously? I trek all the way down here just to find that out. Major bummer. Just so you...

I actually got stuck in the sand for a bit, but I managed to get out. When I was flying my drone, some locals came over to talk...

#6 Australia Trip May 2024 Jurien Bay, Western Australia

Still Day 11 Jurien Bay, WA View this post on Instagram A post shared by Akima Kai Ocean Art (@akima_kai_ocean) After a freezing fun swim with Australian sea lions, I returned to the hotel around 11 am. I indulged in the longest hot shower. Not wanting to waste any time, I decided to drive a bit north towards Green Head. Although I wanted to find the beach where I took a stunning sunset picture 15 years ago, featuring a huge rock with a hole, I had no clue where it was, so I didn't bother trying to locate it. However,...
