Bells Beach Backpackers

Thank you to all who posted a comment or a like for bells closing. It has been so heartwarming to see so many kind words for what we accomplished over the 8+ years of operation. I still have time here in Torquay to finish up everything but it will be sad to drive out for the last time. I will be back.

It’s that time of week again! ⏰ coming at you with number ten on our EPIC list!⁠
⁠
#10 Teddy’s Lookout - ⁠
⁠
What is it about looking out over a road that is so damn entrancing? Well, nothing. Unless it’s the Great Ocean Road herself! Teddy’s Lookout with it’s gorgeous spanning vistas is one of our favourite spots to check out this good looking strip of bitumen from afar. ⁠😍
⁠
This scenic lookout is just the other side of Lorne at the mouth of the Saint George River, a 50 minute drive from Torquay. Where the forest meets the sea, the spot perfectly encapsulates the energy of the GOR. Wander out onto the viewing platform and see how the road hugs the cliffs as it snakes its way up the coastline. Watch the crashing waves and river currents collide. Feel the faint spray of the ocean breeze on your cheeks. ⁠🌊
⁠
Our top tip is to time your visit with the sunrise or sunset. Make the most of that glowy and totally **Instagrammable** golden hour light dancing on the water. Just divine! ⁠🤤⁠
⁠
⁠Cheers for reading along and don’t forget to follow along for more of our weekly GOR gems!⁠ 💎
