  • Famous for the Twelve Apostles and historic shipwrecks. Getting there: The 250 km drive from Melbourne via the Princes Highway takes about three hours. A more scenic but longer and winding route, the famous Great Ocean Road takes about five hours.

    The 12 Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge A very beautiful and impressive place. A lot of people mention The '12 Apostles' on their 'Melbourne' page, I put it on 'Geelong' because it's closer.... And also I put a photograph I took myself, not one from a touristic brochure... Loch Ard Gorge is also a nice place, and there you can walk down to cliff to the place where the only survivor of the 'Loch Ard' wreckage landed. Then, as he did, you can climb the cliff...

    There are three Loch Ard Gorge Short Walks: (1) the 900m geology walk looks at the forces that shaped the area’s astounding coastline (2) the 3km ‘Living on the Edge’ tour presents the diverse wildlife that make their home on the edge of sheer cliffs (3) the 1.4km ‘Wreck of the Loch Ard’ walk recounts the amazing escape of the two young survivors of the Loch Ard, wrecked here in 1878

    This National Park has a temperate rainforest, fern gullies and a lot of forest. You can have great walks there and see trees that could fit a car into. Maits Rest Rainforest Boardwalk is a great way to see the rainforest if you haven't got a lot of time.

    12 Apostles
    by didgeridorien, 1 more photos

    This is a very rugged part of the coast, with cliffs, gorges and blowholes. The most well known feature of this national park are the 12 Apostles. Only seven of them remain, because they're beaten my wind, rain and waves. A helicopter ride is an expensive, but great way to get to see the coast. I went with PremiAIR (0355988266). The next stop would be Loch Ard Gorge, where 2 survivors of a ship wreck lived for a while until they got rescued. After Port Campbell there's another place to see, London Bridge. The connection with the mainland fell away when there was a couple on it. It turned out the man had told his work he was sick and he had told his wive he was on a working holiday.

    You should take an unforgettable journey along Victoria`s Great Ocean Road, the world`s most inspiring coastal drive. The length of the road is about 280 kilometres from Geelong to Warrnambool. The Great Ocean Road is one of Australia`s most visited attractions. It meanders along the coast of the Southern Ocean between golden beaches with rugged rock outcrops, and the Otway Ranges, and passes through the Angahook-Lorne State Park and Otway State Forest, abundant rain-forest area. The Great Ocean area is rich in attractions ranging from cheeseries and quiant restaurants, to raging surf and spectacular outcrops. Among the most popular is the Port Campbell National Park. These outcrops, include "the 12 Apostles" a spectacular collection of eroded sandstone outcropts and are the centre of the park.
