One of the world's great walks
大洋路的点评
点评：Weather perfect, planning meticulous, food excellent, accomodation excellent, and walking challenging but doable.
We set off from Aire River (west of Cape Otway in Victoria) and went westward to the 12 Apostles. It was a 3 day walk/hike with day packs. Transport from each end of the day's walk was arranged by GOW91. We booked through them late in 2024 and was provided with all the nercesary details well in advance of our walk.
The walk itself took us through a wide variety of coastal terrains and vegetation. it was generally unspoilt bushland on a well defined track. The track itself was well marked with GOW blazes and signposts. There were campsites along the way if participants decide to bring their own gear, but we opted for accomodation for the 2 nights we were out on the track (this was in a modern 2 bedroom self contained bungalow with views across paddocks towards the 12 Apostles).
As we walked, we came across Koalas, Swamp Wallabies, a wide variety of native birds (includng the rare hooded plover, and black cockatoo) and even a goat with its kid. The vegetation included eucalypts, grass trees, coastal heath and tea tree, and a wide variety of plants I cannot describe.
The views at every turn were spectacular, with bluffs jutting into the ocean, rock ledges, beaches, and surf. The colours of the sea were vibrant and the whole experience magnificent.
It was little wonder that this is known as the shipwreck coast in Victoria as the coastline is dotted with many wrecks (not visible at all) of predominantly sailing ships bringing out cargoes from England and migrants seeking to make a new life in Australia.
Our visit to the area was topped off by a day afterwards inspecting the Cape Otway lighthouse precinct and lighthouse itself, Loch Ard Gorge, and Port Campbell. The visitor's centre at the 12 Apostles is somewhat small and limited, but the view is iconic.
The walk has its challenges but can be done after some training. We are both in our 70's and active people and covered around 50Km in the 3 days, with the second day being the most difficult with a number of ups and downs. The last day was the longest but a lot easier walking. The walk is away from modern interruptions and can be seen as remote, although communication with GOW91 via text was the main form of communication with them. We were also issued with an EPIRB if it was required.
GOW91 staff were most attentive and reponsive to our requirements. A walk that is well worth doing in Autumn or Spring.

翻译：天气完美，计划周密，食物极佳，住宿条件极佳，步行虽然有挑战性，但还是可行的。
我们从艾尔河（维多利亚州奥特威角以西）出发，向西前往十二门徒岩。这是一次为期 3 天的徒步/远足，带着背包。GOW91 安排了当天徒步行程的往返交通。我们在 2024 年末通过他们预订了行程，并在徒步前很久就获得了所有必要的详细信息。
徒步本身带我们穿越了各种各样的沿海地形和植被。它通常是一条清晰的小径上未受破坏的丛林。小径本身有 GOW 标志和路标。如果参与者决定自带装备，沿途有露营地，但我们选择了在小径上度过的 2 晚住宿（这是一间现代化的 2 卧室自助式平房，可以欣赏到围场对面的十二门徒岩的景色）。
在我们行走的过程中，我们遇到了考拉、沼泽袋鼠、各种各样的本土鸟类（包括稀有的黑颈斑鸻和黑凤头鹦鹉），甚至还有一只带着小山羊的山羊。植被包括桉树、草树、沿海石楠和茶树，以及我无法描述的各种植物。
每一个转弯处的景色都十分壮观，悬崖伸入大海，岩石壁架、海滩和海浪。大海的颜色鲜艳，整个体验都十分壮观。
毫不奇怪，这里被称为维多利亚州的沉船海岸，因为海岸线上散布着许多沉船（完全看不见），主要是载着来自英国的货物和寻求在澳大利亚开始新生活的移民的帆船。
我们对该地区的访问以第二天的参观结束，参观了奥特威角灯塔区和灯塔本身、洛克阿德峡谷和坎贝尔港。十二门徒岩的游客中心有点小，设施有限，但景色却很壮观。
徒步有挑战性，但经过一些训练后还是可以完成的。我们都是 70 多岁的老人，而且很活跃，在 3 天内走了大约 50 公里，第二天是最困难的，有很多起伏。最后一天是最漫长的一天，但步行要轻松得多。徒步远离现代干扰，可以算是偏远地区，尽管通过短信与 GOW91 沟通是他们的主要沟通方式。如果需要，我们还会收到 EPIRB。
GOW91 工作人员对我们的要求非常细心和积极。秋季或春季的徒步非常值得一试。
