The Great Ocean Road is a breath-taking coastline which starts at Torquay and finishes at Allansford where it joins the Princes Highway near Warrnambool. The Great Ocean Road is one of the attractions that you must visit when you are in Melbourne.

The Twelve Apostles are the main icons of the Great Ocean Road. These giant rocks are located at the Port Campbell National Park. The glorious limestone cliffs are the backdrop to the Apostles which stands up to 70 metres. There is a good information centre in Geelong that can give you driving maps and accommodation information. Just after Torquay you pass Bells Beach which is interesting if you want to see where the film Point Break was filmed. Lorne is a lovely seaside town and makes a great stop for lunch. Visit Erskine falls which is a short drive North of Lorne and you can walk down through rainforest to the bottom of a waterfall which makes for lovely photos. Don’t forget to check out the surf wear factory outlets in Tourquay where you can buy Quicksilver and Billabong surf wear at factory outlet prices.
