The Great Ocean Road isn’t just another drive — it’s one of the most iconic coastal journeys in Australia. From clifftop bends over the wild coastal edge to fern-filled forest tracks in the Otways, every kilometre offers something different. Whether you’re self-driving or joining a guided Great Ocean Road tour with operators like Autopia Tours, the journey is equal parts adventure, heritage and wonder.
When I started my first drive from Torquay, I thought I knew what was coming — the 12 Apostles, towering cliffs and bus tours. What I didn’t expect was the taste of a hot pie in Apollo Bay saving the day or the sound of the waves at Loch Ard Gorge sending chills down my spine.
The Great Ocean Road keeps you honest — you can’t speed through it, and you really shouldn’t. Every bend is a moment to pause, every lookout reminds you why this is more than a map line. |
