Australia’s iconic coastal drive isn’t just another drive — it’s
one of Australia’s most famous road trips .
From sweeping ocean lookouts over the Southern Ocean to winding tracks in Victoria’s temperate
rainforest, every kilometre brings new scenery .
Whether you’re hiring a campervan or booking a Great Ocean Road
day trip , the experience is a mix of nature,
adventure and story .
When I started my first trip from the surf town of
Torquay , I thought I knew what was coming: famous limestone stacks, dramatic coastlines and tourist stops.
What I didn’t expect? A bakery pie in Apollo Bay to feel like salvation or the echo of waves at
Loch Ard Gorge to stop you in your tracks.
The Great Ocean Road humbles you — you can’t rush it,
and you shouldn’t want to .
If you’re starting from Melbourne , tours from Melbourne to the Great Ocean Road make it easy to explore Victoria’s southwest coast.
It’s a perfect escape from the city .
