Australia’s most famous road trip, the Great Ocean Road, is a 243-kilometer stretch of scenic coastline that gets more beautiful around every turn. It starts off in Torquay, from there you’ll wind your way through lush rainforests, charming seaside towns, and the iconic Twelve Apostles rock formations.
Every stop seems to offer something new, picturesque beaches, hidden waterfalls, rich wildlife, lush rainforest, it’s a true adventure.
Break up the trip by spending a night in the vibrant towns of Lorne and Apollo Bay, or take a detour to the Otways for the region’s ancient forests. With its mix of dramatic landscapes and tranquil spots, driving the Great Ocean Road features in the ‘best bits’ anecdotes of almost every backpacker who visits Australia.
