The Great Ocean Road

Feel the power of nature

The Great Ocean Road sweeps along the Shipwreck Coast past tiny villages, bays, internationally celebrated surf sites and ancient growth forests. The highlight of this world famous coastal drive is the 12 Apostles. These stone pillars standing off shore are one of Australia's most famous images. Swim, hike, see koalas and look for sunken boats as this day trip takes in the best of Victoria's southern coast.
