About The Great Ocean Road

The Great Ocean Road takes visitors on one of Australia’s greatest and most inspiring coastal drives. From Torquay near Geelong, to Nelson almost 300 kilometres to the west, the road snakes past cliffs, scenic lookouts, waterfalls, rainforests & sunken ships.

One of the most visited stretches is the Port Campbell National Park, home to native bushland & fauna. Buffeted by wild seas & fierce winds, the coastline has been sculpted over millions of years to form a series of striking natural features such as the Twelve Apostles & London Bridge.

The Great Ocean Road has a rich maritime past. Historic towns such as Port Fairy & Portland allow you to enjoy seafaring village life, with their fishing wharves, old pubs & beautifully preserved colonial buildings. A number of ships from the nineteenth & twentieth centuries have foundered off the rugged shipwreck coast, & their histories are recounted in many of the museums in the region.
