A stella bluebird day at Johanna Beach campground lookout! The best thing? You can camp in the parks campground so you are only a short walk on a sandy track away from the beach! The Great Ocean Road has so many adventures and now is the perfect time to go while the weather is nice and its quietened down after holidays. For more tips from a local on how to see the GOR check out my blog post http://www.seesomethingnew.com.au/australia/victoria/a-locals-guide-to-the-great-ocean-road-drive
This is Johanna Beach, one of the many spectacular beaches on the Great Ocean Road. Its not only beautiful but it is adjacent to a big Parks Vic campground so you can stay beside the sea :)
