I AM WHERE STORIES UNFOLD

The secret to exploring Apollo Bay & The Otways like a local

Meet Joey

For me, growing up in Apollo Bay meant spending every day bathing at the beach in summer and exploring the Great Otway National Park in winter.

The cold weather never bothered us. We’d visit the roaring waterfalls, play in the rock pools, coast through the forest on our bikes and nip any calorie deficit in the bud with a fresh serve of fish and chips, no matter the temperature outside.

I’ve been exploring Apollo Bay and The Otways like a local for years.

Here are five ways you can do it too (and I recommend doing them all!).
