Anglesea
Drive past where the kangaroo's hang-out to see who wants their photo taken today.
Great Ocean Road Memorial Archway
We'll help you snap an album-cover-worthy photo next to the Memorial Arch statue & road sign, before the jaw-dropping coast-hugging scenery of this magnificent journey opens up

Drive along this spectacular coast-hugging road with elevated seating above the roadside shrubs to view all its glory - from the ocean to the forest, making visits along the way to not miss highlights & a brilliant photo high above at the Cape Patton lookout
100 minutes
Lorne
Take a rest under gum trees enveloping this stunning bay view where the forest meets the sea, perhaps with cockatoos or Kookaburra's 'laughing'.
10 minutes
Apollo Bay
Delicious lunch options in this seaside town - we'll point out the treasures! You can grab take-aways for a beach picnic, maybe a swim too if you brought your bathers... or just kick off the shoes for a stroll along Australia's recently voted top 3 beaches :)
55 minutes
Mait's Rest
Step inside an ancient rainforest for a moment to feel like you're in another world, yet it's only minutes inside the Great Otway's National Park as the famous road now veers into the countryside for a change of scenery. Keep your eye's up to maybe spot cute Koala at the carpark as a bonus.

Journey under the canopy of giant Mountain Ash gum trees & ferns, changing into Beech & Blackwood forests to continue along the Great Ocean Road to reach the 12 Apostles grand finale coastline.

30 minutes
Admission Included
Loch Ard Gorge
A true jewel in this National Park's crown, wander to majestic lookouts of your choice including the Island Archway & the Razorback - a beast of a view when raging seas swell. Maybe spot echidna scurrying near the paths for ants, or wallabies peeking their heads up in the bush.
50 minutes
