Sometimes You Have to Go Backwards to Move Forward

Shelley Beach to Apollo Bay – 8kms After what feels like not enough planning, suddenly today, I took my first steps on the Great Ocean Walk. The last few weeks have been a whirlwind of work, events and sorting to hopefully have everything I need to walk (and more importantly, Continue Reading

Finding My Peace

Shelley Beach to Blanket Bay – 14kms Bree’s Anniversary This day marks the day I lost Bree forever, yet I struggle with it far less than her birthday. I often wonder if it is because I always have a plan around how to spend the day and it usually involves Continue Reading

Blanket Bay to Aire River – 21kms With 21kms stretching out in front of us, the plan was to get up at 6:30am and be gone by 8am at the latest. You know what they say about best laid plans… Out of sheer exhaustion from the roar of the ocean Continue Reading

No More Camper Trash

Moonlight Head to Wreck’s Beach – 8kms Thanks to some guidance from our accommodation host, today was going to be an easier day, and therefore, a sleep-in was something we were both looking forward to, especially as we would be in warm, comfy beds. Not to be. At 7:15am, the Continue Reading

Never Underestimate the Need for Time

Wreck’s Beach to 12 Apostles – 18kms Our last day on the GOW. This is all happening way too fast. I think I need to become a monk. Maybe that is a little extreme. Maybe just become a part of the Slow Movement concept. How can we possibly have walked Continue Reading
