Drive from Melbourne to Adelaide - The Great Ocean Road

The Great Ocean Road is a fabulous piece of Australian coastline. The scenery is stunning, and there are many geographic features of interest along the way.


The most famous is the Twelve Apostles, and this whole coast, rich in history........has wonderful arches, caves, beaches, and walks. The towns along the way are very picturesque. Port Campbell is a beautiful little town so close to the Twelve Apostles it is a good option for overnight accommodation.


Torquay at the start of the Great Ocean Road is a real surfy town, Lorne a holiday destination for Melbournites. Port Fairy is a very beautiful boat harbour with historic interest like so many of these small towns along the way.


The Otway Ranges National Park has several interesting activities from going up the Cape Otway Lighthouse, to the Otway Fly - Tree walk.


Robe is a pretty little town at the end of the Great Ocean Road, before you carry on to Mt Gambier, the Coorong and on to Adelaide through the Langhorne Creek wine area.
