The famous Great Ocean Road stretches about 243kms between Melbourne and Adelaide. It is classed as one of Australia's National Heritages. It is known to be one of the most scenic coastal drives in the world. What is there not to love? The Great Ocean Road is famously known for the 12 Apostles, a group of magnificent rock stacks, sitting off the shore of Port Campbell National Park. The site is so beautiful that it is not to be missed during your Australia adventure. 

Throughout the drive, along the breathtaking Great Ocean Road, you can pay several bays and beaches a visit. There are so many things to see along the route that you will be sure to take your time. Make sure to visit Apollo Bay, Torquay Beach, Loch Ard Gorge, and many more of the highlights! If you are lucky, you might be able to swim with the some dolphins too.

OUR TOP TIPS?

Start early! Give yourself some time to stop and take in the picturesque scenery if you choose to do the driving yourself. The Great Ocean Road can be very windy, so make sure you take some protective clothing just in case it gets a little chilly. Try and do the trip during summertime to enhance your beach visits and make the most out of daylight savings. 

 

ANYTHING ELSE?

Drive safe and make sure you take a rest if needed as there are many curves along the road. Make sure to drive within your limit and take it easy. Why not take a break every hour or so regardless of whether you need it or not? It is so beautiful, it is almost impossible not to take a pitstop every few minutes.
