位於澳洲東海岸維多利亞州的Great Ocean Road,是一條全長約276公里的沿海行車公路,當中可謂應有盡有:大自然景觀、各種各樣的水上活動、隨處可見的野生動物、海鮮佳餚、skydive等等,行程的多樣化甚至會令你無從入手,壯觀的海岸線亦讓人流連忘返。下次遠行不妨就安排一趟Great Ocean Road的海陸空體驗,路線方面可選擇從墨爾本開車出發,一路駛向Great Ocean Road逗留一至兩天,最後到達南澳的阿德萊德,全程感受屬於澳洲的大自然魅力。
#Into The Ocean 愛上大海的那一刻
在Great Ocean Road能體驗得到的水上活動眾多,包括游泳、衝浪、潛水、划艇,或釣魚等,其中Bells Beach更是以巨浪聞名的世界級的衝浪地標,尤其是三月到十月期間,幾乎可以保證都是一流的海浪,世界上歷史最長的衝浪比賽就是在此舉辦。而比較偏愛悠閒渡過的你,則推薦Apollo Bay阿波羅灣、Anglesea天使海和Shipwreck Coast沉船海岸等可以讓你四周探索、了解沉船歷史、地質和海岸生態狀況的地方。

MEET THE INVITEES: Mick Ray (@stickypops) A balanced individual with an even pace, who's keen insights, observations and awareness has served him well around the globe in heavy water situations. Expect M-Ray to take centre stage on the day and you won't be mistaken if you see hints of Curren-esque body positioning, coupled with aggressive on rail carves and the obligatory drop wallets under big, thick, cold lips. Micks lung capacity has been tested to the west of Cape otway and a little brotherly camaraderie/competition from bother Tony is bound to turn the volume up to eleven on Mick's frothometer. There is no doubting that Michael Ray will be holstering his jovial & likable demeanor when the horn blows as he taps into 35 plus years of Bells Beach know how. Q&A 1) Years surfing bells? 35 years. 2) what board would you ride at 12ft bowl? 7'4 if clean and line up, something bigger if raw. 3) all time favourite bells surfers? Adam Robbo, his runner up finish at Bells was epic, Rod Brooks plus Troy and Shaun, Browny and Phippsy in the Gash era, T-Ray (except he tends to pull back when it gets big), Muscroft brothers, Palm and of the younger crew Cahill, Casey and Todd 4) one word to describe Shaun? Unique.

#The World Is A Wonderland 最自然的景色才令人屏息
來到Great Ocean Road,有幾個必訪之地,首當其衝的就是The Twelve Apostles。目前因強風和海浪侵蝕而僅剩7座石柱的十二門徒石,隨著天色的變化會為你帶來不同的視覺感受,而大約一公里外的地方有另一道通往沙灘的陡峭階梯叫做Gibson Steps,在沙灘可以讓你近距離地觀看門徒石,但下去是必須小心注意安全。另一個必訪之地是London Arch,它原本是以雙拱門的形式跟左邊的陸地連接在一起的,但離海岸最近的拱門在1990年突然倒塌,將兩名遊客困在了變成小島的拱門上面。有時間的話不妨去一訪Port Fairy精靈港,一個能讓你感受到海洋生活歷史的迷人古老漁村。
#Flying in the Sky 拋下一切被天空擁抱吧
近年越來越多人愛上極限運動,而當中skydive可算是bucket list中的經典之選,你可以先在網上預訂套票,當中包括跳傘、用教練手上的GoPro拍攝的過百張照片和由專業攝影師從你上機前就開始拍攝的紀錄影片。勇敢地一躍而下後360度無死角的海天一色,能瞬間令你把緊張得要命的情緒拋諸腦後,更能為這個公路旅行劃上完美句號。
#Oceanfeast 在海味中享受最純粹的幸福
在這裡絕對不能錯過海岸小鎮的海鮮滋味,無論是新鮮生蠔、烤三文魚之外,也有作為澳洲的特式美食的pie,這裡的scallop pie通常是要在靠海城市才能找得到的美味。
