The Great Ocean Road begins it's journey south from Torquay, winding alongside this awesome coastline to the South Australian border. Lush farmland, towering Norfolk Pines, stone cottages, rainforest canyons, waterfalls, sun bleached sand dunes and raging seas. This is rugged Australian Beauty at its very best, so if your going to miss anything don’t let it be this.

 Famous surfing locations along this coastline include Bells Beach where the annual Bells Beach Easter Classic draws surfers and surfing legends from all over the globe. If you leave the GOR at Apollo Bay, you can travel to Cape Otway Lighthouse on the most southern point of Victoria and enjoy yet another spectacular view towards Port Campbell National Park. It is this area of windswept coastline (known as the shipwreck coast) that is home to one of the worlds most amazing natural wonders -The Twelve Apostles.

To appreciate the sheer magnificence of this place take a walk down Gibson steps and onto the beach. With a 70 metre cliff face, this is the only place to access the beach until you reach Loch Ard Gorge where you won’t be able to hold yourself back from a swim – no matter the weather.  There is no abseiling or rock climbing here and nor would we recommend it. Stick to the boardwalks and viewing platforms and take spare film.
