Arguably the best kebab in Coburg or Melbourne. Foods are amazing and very big serve, I can hardly finish one small meal by myself. We often treat our friends who come over to visit us with their meals. Must try this if you fancy a bit of Middle East flavours. The other reason we locals support this shop is a couple of years ago, the owner and his staff bravely helped a jewellery shop next door from robbery. They fought with and caught three robbers with weapons. They are the true heroes! Do remember to bring cash with you as they don’t have EFTPOS facility onsite. Also to avoid peak times if you don’t want to wait for too long.

The Twelve Apostles is a collection of limestone stacks off the shore of Port Campbell National Park, by the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia. Admire the 12 Apostles from the viewing platform and check out interpretative displays along the boardwalk. The best viewing time is at dawn or dusk, when you might also see little penguins. Enjoy the self-guided walks at Loch Ard Gorge, which introduce shipwreck history, geology, and coastal ecology. It was here that the Loch Ard, probably Victoria’s most famous shipwreck, was smashed against Muttonbird Island in 1878 with only two young survivors. Visit the Grotto (where you can often see rainbows made from wave spray and sunshine), the Arch (with its spectacular views of the 12 Apostles in the late afternoon), London Bridge (originally a natural archway, which collapsed in 1990), and the Bay of Islands. Climb down the 86 stairs of Gibson Steps to the beach, which is backed by 70-metre (230-foot) limestone cliffs. Make your way towards the enormous offshore rock stacks of Gog and Magog. Be sure to check tide times and ocean conditions before visiting.
