Channel 7’s ‘Sunrise’ is coming to Apollo Bay next Wednesday 16th November and Sam Mac will be doing his 8.30am weather report from the Apollo Bay Bakery.

‘Sunrise’ have asked for as many local school kids (and parents) to head down to the Bakery at 8.15am am in readiness for 8.30am. They’ve also asked for the kids to make signs to hold up during the weather report. Signs saying ‘Vote Matty O’ or hello to relatives and friends who are in Melbourne or inter-state and will be watching the show.

A big thank you to Great Ocean Road Regional Tourism for inviting us to be a part of ‘Sunrise’.

Watch out for wildlife on the roads!

If you’re heading our way, please keep an eye out for wildlife - they tend to lack road sense!

We are asking residents and visitors at Marengo beach to please keep their distance and dogs away from a visiting elephant seal.

This juvenile southern elephant seal is shedding its hair (moulting), which means the seal could be around for six weeks. During this time we ask everyone to please remember these rules:
• People should not approach within 30 metres of a seal on land
• Dogs are not permitted within 50 metres of a seal
• Never attempt to feed a seal

Seals are wild animals, and keeping the right distance from seals reduces the chance of you or your dog being attacked. It may look slow and harmless, but it is capable of moving very quickly and could be dangerous if it feels threatened.

Warning signage is in place around the seal and one of our local wildlife carers will be monitoring the seal three times a day.

Any questions or reports if the seal moves from its current location can be sent to: [email protected]

Today we spotted the Lightstation’s first whale of the season from the top of the tower!

Victorian waters are home to a stunning diversity of marine mammals including whales, dolphins and seals, and Cape Otway is a perfect vantage point for whale watching between May and October.
At the Lightstation we celebrate these amazing creatures year-round in our Whale Interpretive Area.

Visit the Lightstation for a chance to see these magnificent whales in their natural habitat and learn how to distinguish them from their blow (cloud of mist of spray formed when whales exhale as they surface); learn to recognise their shape and behaviours.

For more information on our whale interpretative area and visiting us, check out our website 👉 www.lightstation.com

Stunning 👌🏻

Last night there was a super blood moon eclipse so what was I meant to do...go out and photograph it 😜
4 hours standing in the dark has yielded this image capturing the stages of the eclipse.
I shot the foreground as soon as I arrived at 7.15 which was lit up by the full moon.
I shot the lighthouse and sky in the middle of the eclipse where the lack of light allowed me to capture the stars and Milky Way.
And I then combined them with 9 shots to show the stages of the changing moon.
Hope you like it 🤙
