The Great Ocean Road isn’t just a scenic route — it’s one of the most iconic coastal journeys in Australia. From clifftop bends over the Southern Ocean to towering rainforest walks in the Otway Ranges, every kilometre throws something new at you. Whether you’re hitting the road solo or joining a guided Great Ocean Road tour with local tour companies such as Autopia, the journey is equal parts adventure, heritage and wonder.
When I first set off from Torquay, I thought I knew what was coming — the 12 Apostles, towering cliffs and tour groups. What I didn’t expect was the taste of a hot pie in Apollo Bay saving the day or the roar at Loch Ard Gorge giving me goosebumps.
This road teaches you to slow down — you can’t speed through it, and you won’t want to. Every bend is a moment to pause, every turnout reminds you why this isn’t just a route. |
