The Great Ocean Road
Be intrigued by one of the world’s most renowned coastal scenic drives, The Great Ocean Road. A 240-kilometre stretch of road that takes you along the coast of the Indian Ocean, Victoria. Starting from the colourful surf town, Torquay, this road will lead you through ancient forests with the largest collection of eucalyptus trees in all of Australia.
Along the way, you will find Apollo Bay. A seafood village, rich with creative artists, sandy beaches and rolling green hills. Otway National Park is found on the east side of The Great Ocean Road. A bush walker’s dream with a dozen trails to choose from and many koalas to be spotted. Go fishing or surfing in the historic town, Johanna. Or stop by the picturesque Wattle Hill, a quaint seaside town near the iconic Twelve Apostles.
