It’s a long way to go from Melbourne (allow 5 hours via the Great Ocean Road and three hours back via Colac and the M1) ) but provided you qualify it with that expectation and regard the whole day as…Full review by RoyalSilk

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
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
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.

We went in May and did a one day trip trip from Melbourne and stopped at Split Point lighthouse and Apollo Bay for the scallop pies. Reached the Twelve Apostles around 2pm and the sun was behind the rocks so the pictures did not look as nice on the side which has more of the rock formation. As my husband is an avid photographer the angle of the light was not ideal. If we have the time we would prefer to stay 1 night at Port Campbell and visit the 12 Apostles in the morning. I have not tried the inland road but perhaps take the GOR on the way there and the inland road on the way back.
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 …
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.
How safe is driving back from 12Apostle to Geelong late evening in begin of April ? I plan to start from 12 Apostle just after sunset app 7:00pm

We drove the inland route from 12 Apostles via Colac back to Melbourne in Summer (extended daylight). We had good GPS reception and followed the route easily. It is single lane each way and at dusk and night you must watch for kangaroos etc. We had two drivers and swapped half way. We stopped at Colac and had Macdonalds (which is open 24hours). It was a long drive but worth the effort!
