Australia The Great Ocean Road

The Great Ocean Road is no doubt one of Australia’s most spectacular drives, built into the steep seaside cliffs of southwest Victoria. The Great Ocean Road curves along the coast from Torquay, passing through Anglesea, Lorne, Apollo Bay, Port Campbell, and Peterborough and ending in Warrnambool. But the Great Ocean Road is much more than a road these days. It forms the most popular surf coast of Victoria (including Bells Beach), boasts superb and often deserted beaches, lighthouses, remarkable shipwrecks and historic towns. And if you want to see the most interesting part of the road, you should begin from Princeton (Port Campbell National Park) and drive 27 km to Peterborough. The more adventurous drivers need to beware that it’s a tourist spot and you need to be prepared for anything stopped around the next corner. At one spot there were Koalas in the trees alongside the road. The most beautiful attractions start from the Port Campbell National Park, so you might wonder if haven’t find anything that interests you until you reach it.
The latest one is the Great Ocean Walk, a track hugging the coastline, incorporating great lookouts, plunging into thick forests and visiting the beach itself. It’s unique as a major walk in that you can retire to your accommodation with a warm spa, a soothing massage and a fabulous meal each evening.
