Great Ocean Road

FIVE FAVES

Whale watch: From the viewing platform at Warrnambool’s Logans Beach, spot Southern Right whales, often within 100m of shore (June-September).

Waterfall walk: Take a short (or long) rainforest wander to Erskine Falls near Lorne to view the 30-metre cascade.

Rock stacks: For a beach-level perspective of the Twelve Apostles, descend the 86 Gibson Steps – prepare to be dwarfed.

Surf school: Why not learn to surf in Torquay, Australia’s spiritual home of surfing culture? Book a lesson, hit the waves.

Sublime seafood: From a feed of crayfish at Apollo Bay to fish & chips straight from the wrapper at Port Campbell, grab yourself a delicious seafood memory.

Where big nature does the heavy lifting and untamed spirits thrive.

The iconic Great Ocean Road journey unfolds a world of escape, big nature and remarkable landscapes to explore. Relax: wide lanes and passing bays mean easy access for caravans and campers.

Park up at a family friendly holiday park next to the ocean, by a river, on the edge of a national park or in a tiny seaside hamlet. Prepare to be wowed by the beauty of this place.

Be lured by boundless ocean coastlines, world-famous rock formations, secluded coves and beaches for days. In the hinterland, find towering rainforests, waterfalls and lake-filled volcanic landscapes. And at Budj Bim Cultural Landscape, explore a UNESCO World Heritage site that tells the oldest story in human history.

Seek adventure with ziplining, high-energy MTB-ing, kayaking, surfing or bushwalking. The Great Ocean Walk and Surf Coast Walk are just two of hundreds of walking and cycling trails through the region that are your path into the great outdoors.

Sample delicious culinary bounty from the ocean and rich fertile plains. Check out a legion of farmgates, boutique producers, artisanal makers, markets, funky foodie spots and up-scale eateries. Follow your instincts or download an online guide for the 12 Apostles Food Artisans Trail or Otway Harvest Trail.
