This rugged southern coastline and forested hinterland is surprisingly accessible. It’s a road trip built for the ages… and caravans and campers, thanks to wide lanes, passing bays and parking bays purpose-built for big rigs.
Take your time. You’ll want to soak up the beauty, the wildness, the stillness and the tastes of the region’s different landscapes.
Linger in seaside villages on craggy coastlines, then head to the hinterland for intriguing volcanic landscapes and extraordinary gourmet gifts of ocean and earth. Find the flavours deliciously showcased in the 12 Apostles Gourmet Trail and the Otway Harvest Trail.
Let the Great Ocean Road guide you from the legendary surf beaches of the Surf Coast, to the ancient rainforests of the Great Otway National Park. Get your adventure fix with ziplining, MTB-ing, kayaking, surfing or bushwalking to waterfalls.
Make a dawn or dusk 12 Apostles pilgrimage to beat the crowds and snap the pic of a lifetime. Explore Loch Ard Gorge, London Bridge and the Bay of Martyrs. Family-friendly Warrnambool boasts unbeatable whale watching and maritime heritage worth getting to know.
Be inspired to get off the beaten track and take it all in.
