Two words: Christina Heng - our travel agent was gracious and accommodating. Unfortunately I never had the chance to meet her as she was on maternity-leave at the time (Sept. 2011). So we had to deal with another agent - Ms. Heng had already booked our flight. This particular agent was very rude and condescending. My grandmother had set-up a payment plan to pay for our tickets and waited for me to arrive from Dallas. So I can pay the remainder - she's retired living on a fixed income. I arrived and called to speak to Christina Heng. All three times we were hung up on. So I called Christina's cell and spoke to her personally she informed us she was on maternity leave. But to go to the Five Oceans Tours office on N. Broadway in the heart of China Town and pay & pick-up our tickets. Call her when we get there so she can personally speak to the hang up the phone idiot. We got there, called Christina, Christina called idiot - paid, picked up and left. I would've given this place 5 stars if it weren't for the hang up idiot and the horrible seats we were given. I would use this place again if I don't have to deal with the hang up idiot. Just ask for Christina Heng she's pleasant and speaks multiple languages.

Wonderful tennis shoes

sukhthiara - Apr 27, 2024

Great looking tennis shoes. Good traction on hard court. Got compliments on the shoes.

Grab'em while they're still making them

btg44 - Apr 10, 2024

Best tennis shoe by far. I keep buying 2-3 pairs at a time only because you never know when they're going to stop making them. Last few colors leave something to be desired but the fit is perfection. Looks like they're sold out in multiple sizes so maybe we'll get more colors soon! ...

Best tennis shoe ever

AnteP379217777 - Mar 01, 2024

Great shoe, best tennis shoe ever made in my opinion. We just need some nicer colour options. Thanks

Breathable Fit

When the shoe is laced up, a band tightens around the midfoot to provide a snug fit to provide a glove-like fit. Mesh and synthetic material provide a breathable, lightweight fit.

Speed and Comfort

A Zoom Air unit in the heel provides low-profile, responsive cushioning. A foam midsole gives you lightweight, yet firm cushioning and optimal responsiveness.

More Benefits

• Molded midfoot plate provides lateral support and stability.
• Rubber outsole with an extra-durable rubber compound on the heel and forefoot gives you multi-surface traction and durability.

A day hiker’s guide to Australia’s Great Ocean Walk

May 29, 2024 • 8 min read

You've heard of the Great Ocean Road, but did you know you can also walk this stunning Australian coastline? © Sarah Reid / Lonely Planet

Cerulean waves crash into limestone cliffs and plump koalas doze in ghostly white gum trees on the wild southwestern coast of Victoria , a rugged natural wilderness within easy reach of Melbourne .

This windswept stretch of the Australian coastline is best known as the home of the Great Ocean Road . One of Australia ’s most iconic road trips, the scenic 243 km (151 mile) coastal route weaves through a patchwork of national parks and kangaroo-dotted farmlands towards the surreal limestone stacks known as the  Twelve Apostles .

However, that's not the only way to soak up the sublime views: the region is also home to the Great Ocean Walk (GOW) , a 110km (68-mile) one-way hiking trail that links Apollo Bay to the Twelve Apostles. 

Despite its close proximity to the Great Ocean Road in some sections, the GOW is a wonderfully wild walk that feels further removed from civilization (and traffic on the driving route) than it actually is. Hugging the coastline more closely than the Great Ocean Road, the GOW rewards hikers with more dramatic vistas and a deeper immersion into the region’s beauty.

The good news is that you don’t need to have camping gear or a full week set aside to experience it. While the GOW takes six to eight days in its entirety, it’s possible to tackle much shorter sections, making it accessible to those with limited time, fitness or mobility. With the help of a hire car and local shuttle services that cater to hikers, it’s even possible to get a GOW fix and be back in Melbourne in time for dinner.

Here’s our pick of the best day, and half-day, hikes along the Great Ocean Road from east to west.

1. Marengo to Shelly Beach

Best for an easy ramble 4.4km/2.7 miles, 2 hours, easy to moderate

This relatively gentle hike offers a great taste of the Great Ocean Walk for travelers staying in Apollo Bay, where the GOW officially begins. There are three beach walking sections on this trail ending at the Shelly Beach picnic area, tucked up in the coastal forest behind the beach, making it essential to embark at low tide. If conditions allow, there are several additional spots you can opt to walk along the sand and rock platforms instead of sticking to the main trail tracing low cliffs. Swimming is possible in calm conditions.

How to do it: If you don’t have time or energy to do the walk both ways, leave your car at Shelly Beach picnic area and arrange for a shuttle to Marengo (3km/1.9 miles from Apollo Bay), where you’ll begin your walk. If you don’t have a vehicle, shuttles can be arranged at either end. 

2. Blanket Bay to Cape Otway

Best for wild swims and history 11km/6.8 miles, 3-4 hours, moderate

This writer’s favorite section of the GOW takes you deep (or at least it feels like it) into the lush coastal forest of Great Otway National Park before popping out onto the beach at pretty Parker Inlet – a perfect spot for a swim. After crossing the inlet and rounding Point Franklin, the trail hugs the cliffs, offering stirring Southern Ocean views en route to Cape Otway, with another swimming option at Crayfish Bay.

Aim to arrive at Cape Otway well before 4pm to explore the Lightstation precinct (AU$10/adult), where you can learn the stories of the Cape and visit heritage buildings including the striking 1848 lighthouse once known to seafarers as the “Beacon of Hope".

How to do it: If you don’t have a car (or two) to leave at either end of this trail (Blanket Bay is 36km/22 miles from Apollo Bay), prebook a shuttle drop-off/pick-up.

Hire a car and check out the best road trips  from Melbourne

3. Cape Otway to Aire River

Best for chasing waterfalls 9.8km/6 miles, 3-4 hours, moderate to difficult

The power of the Southern Ocean comes into dramatic focus when this trail opens up on the eroded cliff tops after about 2km (1.2 miles). If the sea is calm and the tide is low, you can opt to drop down to sea level and walk along the soft (read: challenging) sand of Station Beach for 2km (1.2 miles) before rejoining the main trail. There’s also an optional 2km (1.2-mile) return detour to Rainbow Falls, where colorful algae blooms along the vertical path of a spring-fed waterfall. Don’t miss the 19th-century Lightstation cemetery at the beginning of the trail.

How to do it: Prebook a shuttle drop-off/pick-up, or leave a car at either end of the trail. Cape Otway is 27km/16.8 miles from Apollo Bay.

4. Castle Cove to Johanna Beach

Best for koala spotting 6.3km/4 miles, 2 hours, moderate

It’s possible to spot koalas and other native wildlife including wallabies, kangaroos and echidnas along the entire GOW, but sightings of Australia’s most iconic marsupial are particularly common on this leg, which begins with a superb lookout towards the cliffs of Rotten Point. The trail winds along cliffs and through prime koala habitat (don’t forget to look up!) before dropping down onto the golden sands of Johanna Beach for the final 2km (1.2 miles), which can feel like double that length in the soft sand. Powerful waves and strong currents make swimming risky – the safest spot is generally in front of the vehicle-accessible Johanna Beach GOW campground.  

How to do it: If you don’t have a car (or two) to leave at either end of this trail (Castle Cove is 33km/20.5 miles from Apollo Bay), prebook a shuttle drop-off/pick-up.

5. Wreck Beach 

Best for maritime relics 2km/1.25 miles, one hour, moderate

Nearly 700 vessels are thought to be submerged along the 130km (81 miles) stretch of coastline between Cape Otway and Port Fairy, also known as the Shipwreck Coast. This short walk (low tide only) takes you down 350 steps to the rocky beach where the rusting anchors of the Marie Gabrielle (wrecked in 1869) and the Fiji (wrecked in 1891) are haunting reminders of how treacherous the Southern Ocean can be. If conditions permit, you can make this walk a circuit by scrambling over the rocks past the Fiji anchor and connecting with the GOW trail for the return walk to the car park. Leave your swimwear behind – this rocky beach isn’t ideal for a dip.

How to do it: Drive to Wreck Beach car park or book a return shuttle to this remote area, 38km (23.6 miles) from Port Campbell, the closest town to the end of the GOW.  

6. Princetown to Twelve Apostles

Best for admiring the Twelve Apostles 7km/4.3 miles, 2 hours, easy to moderate

It won’t be long before you get your first glimpse of the Twelve Apostles on this gently undulating, exposed clifftop trail. Set off as early as possible to beat the heat, and the day-tripper crowds from Melbourne. While only seven of these golden limestone pillars can be seen rising from the coastal shallows today, it’s an awesome sight that gets better as you hike closer. A viewpoint just east of Gibson Steps makes for a fine place to pause for a snack. Then take a short detour down the steps to savor the sea-level views before continuing onto the main Twelve Apostles viewing platforms (including the striking new Saddle Lookout) at the end of this trail – the terminus of the GOW. 

How to do it: Base yourself in Port Campbell and drive or book a shuttle to the trailhead near Princetown (17km/10.6 miles from Port Campbell). It’s 11km (6.8 miles) to Port Campbell from the Twelve Apostles Visitor Centre.

7. Loch Ard Gorge Walks

Best for epic and accessible views 5.5km/3.4 miles, 2 hours, easy

It’s not technically part of the GOW (which officially ends 3km/1.9 miles east at the Twelve Apostles), but if time is tight or you have limited mobility, this trio of interconnecting, wheelchair-accessible trails in Port Campbell National Park takes you to some of coastal Victoria’s most memorable lookouts. The Geology Walk (900m/0.6 miles return) leads to the Razorback, a jagged hulk of limestone rivaling the Twelve Apostles. The Shipwreck Walk (1.4km/0.8 miles return) takes you along the rim of the main gorge, where the only two survivors of the Loch Ard shipwreck in 1878 dragged themselves onto its beach (not currently accessible); the cemetery where some of their shipmates were buried; and a lookout to Mutton Bird Island, where the Loch Ard met its fate. Hear the roar of the water surging into Thunder Cave on the Edge Walk (3.2km/2 miles return), which takes you further along the cliffs.

How to do it: Loch Ard Gorge car park is 8km (5 miles) from Port Campbell; self-drive or get a taxi. 

Tips for day hiking on the Great Ocean Walk 

• The V/Line bus runs from Melbourne to Apollo Bay daily, but local public transport is infrequent and taxis are in short supply; book shuttles in advance.
• If you’re hiring a car, ensure you can take it on unsealed roads, although a 4WD is not essential.
• All trails with unavoidable beach sections should be undertaken at low tide.
• Expect patchy mobile (cell) service on all trails.   
• The GOW is remote – check the weather forecast before you go, but be prepared for all conditions.
• Bring plenty of drinking water and snacks; the only shop/cafe on the GOW is at the Cape Otway Lightstation.
• All one-way trails in this article can be completed as out-and-back hikes in a day.
• All three local snake species are venomous. Give these shy creatures space to move off on their own if you encounter one basking on the trail.

Vince Staples fans are getting spoiled this year.

In late May, the 30-year-old rapper dropped his sixth studio album “Dark Times.” A week later, Netflix renewed his surreal series “The Vince Staples Show” for a second season.

To top it all off, he just announced his 2024 ‘Black In America Tour’ with special guest Baby Rose that will take him to theaters, music halls, auditoriums and ballrooms all over the U.S. and Canada this fall.

New York fans need not worry, either.

The 30-year-old rapper swings into Terminal 5 on Friday, Oct. 18.

Other notable stops on the quick jaunt include Philadelphia (Oct. 21), Washington, D.C. (Oct. 24) and Los Angeles (Nov. 6).

Need to make seeing Staples live a staple of your fall plans?

Fans can purchase tickets for all upcoming shows on sites like Vivid Seats ; the official on-sale is Friday, June 7.

Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

Vince Staples new album

On May 24, Staples dropped his sixth studio album “Dark Times.”

Made up of 13 tracks, the gifted rapper showcases his soulful, exquisite production skills and effortless flow every step of the way all while dropping in trippy interludes.

Highlights include the gorgeously arranged “Black&Blue,” downbeat piano banger “Government Cheese” and spaced out, dreamy “Shame On The Devil.”

Still, the real standout might be “Little Homies” with its pristine backing beat and Staples’ most urgent flow. “Life hard but I go hard,” the chorus repeats on a loop. It’s not only a “Dark Times” mission statement but sounds just as hard as its message. We can’t wait to hear this one live.

“The Vince Staples Show”

A week after the album dropped, Netflix renewed Staples’ surreal series for a second season.

The first season, set in Staples’ native Long Beach, ran five episodes. For a closer look, you can catch the show’s official trailer here:

At nearly all gigs, Staples will be joined by singer-songwriter Baby Rose .

If you’ve never heard the 29-year-old Washington, D.C. native, think of the soulful samples that populate Staples’ albums and you won’t be a million miles off from her sound (to be fair, she is featured on his song “Shame On The Devil”).

Smoky, husky, seductive, emotive and playful all at once, her music is a throwback to the late ’60s and early ’70s. We promise you’ll be in your feels when you hear her powerful voice live this fall.

For those who want to do a deeper dive, you can find Baby Rose’s complete discography here .

Maury holds off Ocean Lakes to advance to the Class 5 baseball semifinals; First Colonial also advances

VIRGINIA BEACH — Pressure? What pressure?

That’s what the Maury Commodores were thinking after they escaped with a 7-6 win over Ocean Lakes in the Class 5 state baseball quarterfinals Tuesday. The Commodores will travel to the Richmond area on Friday and play at 10 a.m. at Glen Allen High, which eliminated Stone Bridge 6-0.

First Colonial also advanced to Friday’s semifinals as the Patriots beat Menchville 2-0 at War Memorial Stadium in Hampton. They will play at 1 p.m. at Glen Allen against Riverbend, which beat Franklin County 4-1.

The Commodores jumped to a 4-0 lead that included John Allen Stilwell’s two-run double in the second inning.

“Our bottom of the lineup beat their bottom of the lineup today. That’s why we won this game,” Stilwell said. “Those guys got on base and gave the top of the lineup opportunities to score them. That was a huge momentum boost for us.”

Ocean Lakes (17-7) cut the deficit in the third inning with two runs, but the Commodores added three more in the fifth, thanks to RBIs from Ethan Walker and Landon Carraway.

Leading 7-3 in the bottom of the seventh, the Commodores were feeling pretty confident.

But Ocean Lakes, which rallied to beat First Colonial in the Region  A championship game, got to within one on Colin Benson’s three-run homer off ace Brycen Hamilton.

Still, the Commodores were calm.

“Our coach has mental toughness days, so we’re mentally tough,” Stilwell said. “We know how to stay in a game. We don’t panic. We don’t fold under pressure. We roll together, and we’ll die together. So none of us panicked.”

Hamilton wasn’t worried, either. He struck out the next batter, but had reached his pitch count.

So the Commodores brought in freshman Henry Mulvey to finish the job.

“We were confident. He just needed one out,” Hamilton said. “We threw that freshman in that kind of moment. That shows how much respect we have ourselves. But he did the job.”

Mulvey got the next batter to ground out to end the game.

While the players weren’t nervous, Commodores coach Robbie Butler admitted he was, especially after the three-run homer.

“I looked right at my coaches and said, ‘We’re still up one, and the tying run isn’t on yet,'” Butler said with a chuckle. “And (Hamilton) got the second out and Henry came in there. I was nervous.”

Maury (19-4) is now one win away from the state championship game. The last time the Commodores played in a state title game was 1954, but they lost. The last time they won a state baseball title was 1927.

Now the Commodores want to finish the job.

“It was almost like there wasn’t even any pressure today. The biggest pressure was getting to states,” Hamilton said. “Then we got here and it’s like, ‘OK, we’re playing baseball again.’ We’re not thinking one loss and you’re out. But we played free today and you could definitely tell.”
