The Victorian Govt is so bankrupt they want to charge you money

I hear that it will be $20 per person. Roll Eyes

It's about 2 hours drive West of Geelong.

New tourist tax for popular Twelve Apostles on Victoria's Great Ocean Road

Topic:Travel and Tourism

13h ago

In short:
Tourists will be charged an entry fee to visit the Twelve Apostles on the Great Ocean Road.

The Victorian government says the new fee will help fund upgrades to tourist sites in the south-west of the state.

What's next?
The entry fee cost will be decided after consultation with local councils, business operators and traditional owners.

Victorian Opposition Leader Jess Wilson said the government's plan was a cash-grab.

"I think it's just another example of a government that's run out of money," she said.

Ms Wilson said the site was an iconic part of the state's landscape that should be free to see.

A good way to turn the tourists away if ever I heard one.

Where do these Labor Politicians get such stupid ideas?

The Media industry of Music & Entertainment like the Oscars. Tourism comes under that umbrella. In America it's all about sex, hence why the Left try to bring Trump down to their sexual level of Rape and Epstein. In Australia it's all about Money like taking $450m off taxpayers via Anus's Voice fiasco.
Australian Tourism is basically pay more for less. Look what the Media Left Tourism culture did to Alice Springs.
Is that the Australia you want to live in? Just look at Victoria.
