Very nice views of the coast and these rock formations. A lot of tourists but well worth the stop. It took some time to find a parking spot.Full review by sorinp09

The tour was, overall, pretty good. It was a bit long and I would recommend that, when returning to Melbourne after dark, the drop off back at the museum be altered because the area was a bit dicy…Full review by hubbarja

A stunning site. It was windy and the surf was spectacular. The awesome beauty and the power of wind and water take time to absorb. The atmosphere of rugged wilderness is unfortunately ruined by th…Full review by Fay M

Q:
Can you walk along the beach and see all of the Apostles up close? At low tide obviously. Or are the Apostles too far apart? There are steps that go to the beach. Can you see the Apostles from beach level using the steps? I am from Canada. Are Feb/Mar/Apr time-frames suitable times to visit this area in terms of weather? Thanks for the time.
A:
No....you can’t....not accessible....however further down, there is a spot called Gibson steps....which you access the beach. Thanks

Q:
Thoughts on driving from Melbourne to Port Campbell, but driving inland on the A1. Then have an early start on the second day and drive the great ocean road back to Melbourne. Idea was to get to the 12 Apostles by sunset and then not having to drive along the great ocean road after dark. Does this itinerary make sense or not really? Thanks for any suggestions/help.
A:
You could make that work. Depending on time of year, sunset will determine how long you have and such. We were there in late April and drove the GOH all day, checked into our …

You could make that work. Depending on time of year, sunset will determine how long you have and such. We were there in late April and drove the GOH all day, checked into our hotel in Port Campbell, then drove back to see sunset at the 12 Apostles. It worked perfect. When we left, we drove inland to get back to Melbourne. Id say the biggest issue you may find will be the ability to tour all of the national park spots, drink some coffee at roadside stands, find kangaroo and linger a bit at beautiful stops, etc. knowing you are due back in Melbourne. Having said that, make the best of the time you have. its an awesome drive with great scenery, people and views.
Q:
Can I walk my pug dog on any of these tracks and suggestions wanted for places to stay with a campervan and 1 dog allowed

Good question, but I am not sure I have a perfect answer since we did not travel with a dog. This is not a "paid"attraction, so there is no one there to stop you from walking with your dog. My best guess is that you would be just fine with a well behaved pup on a leash. We often met campers in any of the parks who had a dog or two, so again, I think it would be unusual for a camping park to object to a dog on a leash.

Weng and Scott, Thanks a lot for your detailed and informative answer. I am a bit hard pressed for time as I have only 1 more day in Melbourne before flying to Sydney. So I will try the inland route, but will definitely keep in mind your suggestions especially about wild life ....
