Winchelsea

Travel Guide

Winchelsea, a little town in rural Victoria nestled on the banks of the Barwon River. A fantastic place to stop and rest when on your way to the 12 Apostles or the Great Ocean Road. #Golden light on sunset as viewed from along the Barwon River.
Sunset from the Winchelsea Cemetery on a hot and dry evening. Winchelsea is on the Princes Highway between Colac and Geelong and has many interesting places for photographers, not widely known.
Even weeds look good when the sun puts on such a beautiful display.
Sunset over Lake Murdeduke, Winchelsea, as seen through my glass ball.
The south west side of town at sunset on a very humid evening. A haze developed giving the sky this beautiful colour.

Tired apartment hotel. Room is very well sized but lots of noise and light from other rooms comes in through windows. Our dryer was broken and we also found previous guests dirty clothes which is never nice. Needs a refurb. Location is sensational though !
