About this drive

The Great Ocean Road is one of the world's most famous and scenically diverse coastal drives. Built by returned World War I soldiers between 1919 and 1932 and dedicated to fallen soldiers, this 243-kilometre highway follows Victoria's rugged Southern Ocean coastline. The drive passes through rainforest, surf beaches, and dramatic limestone cliffs, culminating in the iconic Twelve Apostles rock formations. Port Campbell National Park, Loch Ard Gorge, and the charming town of Lorne are unmissable highlights along the way.
