The Great Ocean Road is one of Australia's most famous coastal drives, located in Victoria and stretching approximately 243 kilometers. It features numerous breathtaking natural attractions, the most famous being the Twelve Apostles, a collection of limestone stacks rising majestically from the Southern Ocean. The Great Ocean Road is not only a scenic drive but also an excellent way to experience the natural beauty of Australia's southern coastline.Lavers Hill · 34.8 km from Port Campbell

Twelve Apostles

Twelve Apostles stand in Australia inthe Great Ocean Road-adjacent Port Campbell National Park (Parks Victoria), and are the product of the Southern Ocean's waves and strong winds eroding limestone cliffs over tens of millions of years. Seawater carved caves into the cliff face, the caves widened into arches, and when the arches collapsed, they formed isolated stacks that broke away from the coast, some reaching approx. 45 m in height. These stacks were named Twelve Apostles in the 1950s—although only nine remained at the time. The name comes from Jesus' twelve apostles in the Bible, but there were never actually twelve stacks. The waves erode the limestone at approx. 2 cm per year. Stacks collapsed under wave erosion in 2005 and 2009, and this geological process is ongoing. Wooden boardwalk viewing platforms run along the cliff, allowing visitors to walk out and overlook the stacks and the vast expanse of the Southern Ocean. At sunset, the setting sun turns the stacks golden, making it one of the classic scenes along theGreat Ocean Road.Princetown · 5.4 km from downtown

Port Campbell National Park (Parks Victoria) is at the heart of the Shipwreck Coast. The park is named after Captain Alexander Campbell, who was active in this area in the 19th century. Steep limestone cliffs stretch along the coastline, where waves and wind have continuously eroded the soft rock layers for millions of years, leaving behind dense and spectacular coastal landforms such as sea stacks, arches, gorges, and sea caves. Twelve Apostles is the park's iconic landmark—a group of limestone stacks rising from the sea, displaying layered colors of golden yellow and gray-white under the sunrise and sunset. Not far away, Loch Ard Gorge is named after the 1878 shipwreck of the "Loch Ard," with towering gorge walls enclosing a hidden beach. To the west,London Archwas originally a double-arched stone bridge connected to the land, but later became an arch standing independently in the sea after the inner arch collapsed. Gibson Steps allow you to descend from the top of the cliff to the beach to admire the scale of the rock stacks from up close. The Grotto is a sea cave at the western end of the park; after the cave roof collapsed, it formed a natural skylight, with sunlight spilling into the water inside the cave.Princetown · 5.5 km from downtown

Loch Ard Gorge, also known as the Loch Ard Gorge, is located within Port Campbell National Park along Australia's Great Ocean Road. Adjacent to the Twelve Apostles, it is a stop on the Shipwreck Coast with a particularly poignant story. The gorge is named after a shipwreck in 1878: that year, a British immigrant ship named the "Loch Ard" struck a reef near the shore while en route to Melbourne. More than 50 people on board perished, and only two teenagers—ship apprentice Tom Pearce and Irish immigrant Eva Carmichael—survived, escaping to safety by using the waters within this gorge. Today, a small cemetery for the victims remains on the cliff top, burying the few victims who were recovered, while most remain forever in the depths of the sea. This cliff area is connected by several walking trails: along the geological trail, you can walk to the blade-like Razorback rock formation, and you can also see the former Island Arch sea arch—after it collapsed in 2009, only two independent rock pillars remained, which are now officially named Tom and Eva, fittingly echoing the two survivors from that year. Continuing forward, the roaring waves of Thunder Cave and the Blowhole, where seawater surges up from the cave when the waves are high, are also worth a stop. You can reach the beach at the bottom of the gorge by following the stairs; even if you don't go down to the beach, standing on the viewing platform to overlook the crescent-shaped beach at the bottom of the valley, the ochre cliffs on both sides, and the crashing waves of the Southern Ocean, the view is equally expansive and spectacular.Port Campbell · 7 km from downtown

London Bridge is located in Port Campbell on the Great Ocean Road. It is a beautiful coastal landscape formed by the force of nature. It used to be a promontory connecting the sea and the land. Due to the erosion and erosion of the waves, two round holes are formed, which just form a double arch, so Named "London Bridge".Peterborough · 7.6 km from downtown

Located in Victoria, Gibson Steps is a cliff walk along the coastline of the Great Ocean Road. The steps lead down to the beach, between the bottom of the eroded cliffs and the surging waves. Surrounded by many famous attractions, the local landowner Hugh Gibson in the 19th century artificially excavated the cliff. After walking down the 86 steps arranged in a zigzag pattern, you can reach Gibson Beach (Gibson Beach). The waves on the beach are very large and are not suitable for swimming. You can take a walk and watch seagulls. The biggest advantage is that you can see two huge rocks in the Twelve Apostles from here.Princetown · 4.5 km from downtown

The Grotto at Peterborough is a tourist attraction known for its stunning natural landscape and unique geological structures. This attraction attracts countless tourists to explore its stunning coastline and rock formations. The Grotto is a naturally formed rock cave that sits at the base of the coastal cliffs. Visitors can reach the Grotto via a trail and stairs that offer stunning panoramic views of the ocean along the way. The Grotto was formed due to erosion and weathering, which resulted in an arched cave at the base of the cliffs. Inside the cave is a natural rock pool with clear water that connects to the ocean outside. When the tide is low, visitors can walk into the Grotto and get a close look at the texture and form of the rocks. Sunlight shines through the vault of the cave onto the pool, creating a beautiful light and shadow effect, especially in the early morning or evening. For photography enthusiasts, the Grotto offers a wealth of material to capture, whether it is the changes in natural light or the unique structure of the rocks, which can inspire unlimited creative inspiration.Peterborough · 6.2 km from downtown

The tour to Great Ocean Road was taken by the guide named Vance who is frequent with both English and Chinese. Since I only speak English and Japanese, it was helpful that guide can speak English too.The tour was operated quite strictly about time, so the tour went so smoothly than I expected.In the tour, you don’t need to worry about the problem of language because the guide always left the paper which show what time you should come back to bus.The guide Vance is kind and funny, and I really enjoyed his guide and recommendation.And I really enjoyed the beautiful view and it was stunning!!!!

When traveling the Great Ocean Road by car, you must come to Port Campbell~ It takes about four hours to drive from Melbourne city center If you play along the road, you can come here I kept seeing many traces left over from history. Every limestone is special What an eye-opener Another question is This town has a lot of delicious food A restaurant that is very popular among locals is the pizza restaurant Super fragrant and special One of the flavors is my first time eating it. It’s pumpkin-based pizza. Everyone can try it wherever you go. Give you an unexpected surprise #melbourne

Walking along the trail, you will arrive at the space under the Suzhou River Middle Ring Bridge, where you will feel like you are in a colorful "animal world". Rock Park is the first choice for young people who love sports and fitness. It provides spacious and comfortable sports venues for those who love basketball, football, skateboarding, frisbee and other sports, adding a touch of vitality to the Suzhou River.

The attraction is free but you have to go down a long flight of stairs. There is a soft sandy beach and many foreigners are swimming. In fact, there are many fun places along the way besides the Twelve Apostles. They are not even parks. Just an unknown beach is beautiful enough. Be sure to bring enough food and drinks. It is best to drive yourself. If you really can't, you can join a one-day tour group, but it is more tiring.

It's a short drive from Otway to Gibson Steps, the first spot where you can see the Twelve Apostles, and you can go directly down to the beach to take pictures, so it's a must-see. It's very refreshing to be close to the sea, but the wind is very strong here, and the waves are also very big, so you need to wear more clothes. The only drawback is that the waves are too big, so the mist in the air is too thick.

The Grotto was my absolute favorite spot! We visited early, right after the 12 Apostles, and it was magical. While there are quite a few steps to get down, there are plenty of viewing stops along the way to catch your breath and take in the stunning scenery. Every angle offers incredible photo opportunities—it’s truly breathtaking. Going early meant we had the place almost to ourselves, making the experience even more special. If you want to fully enjoy the serene beauty of this natural wonder, beat the crowds and go first thing in the morning. An unforgettable highlight!

The English name of this place is Bay of Islands. If you go on a self-driving tour on the Great Ocean Road, it is relatively easy to find it on the navigation. Strictly speaking, this place is no longer within the classic route of the Great Ocean Road. Generally, the last stop of the Great Ocean Road tour route is London Bridge. It is still dozens of kilometers away from London Bridge. However, the scenery here is not inferior to any scenic spot on the Great Ocean Road. It is very magnificent. I personally recommend it!
