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.

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.
