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 Bass Strait to towering rainforest walks in the Otways, every km offers something different. Whether you’re self-driving or joining a guided Great Ocean Road tour with experienced operators like Autopia Tours, the journey is equal parts adventure, heritage and wonder.
When I began the trip from Torquay, I thought I knew what was coming — the 12 Apostles, towering cliffs and crowds with cameras. What I didn’t expect was a bakery pie in Apollo Bay feeling like salvation or the sound of the waves at Loch Ard Gorge making my skin prickle.
This drive demands patience — you can’t do it in a hurry, and you won’t want to. Every bend is a reason to pull over, every turnout reminds you why this deserves to be savoured. |
