The Twelve Apostles from up there
Flying out over the Southern Ocean in a helicopter is a great experience, especially when you are hovering over the Twelve Apostles, the major tourist attraction along the Great Ocean Road.
You can see the sandstone rock stacks from the shore, but getting a bird’s eye view is just magic.
The hellicopter service takes off just behind the information centre. There are a number of flight options and you can pre-book your flight or just turn up and hope.
The slideshow at the top of this post will show you the drama of the sea and land in this area.
