Great Ocean Road, Victoria

The Great Ocean Road region hugs the contours of Victoria's rugged south west coast and offers visitors one of Australia's greatest and most spectacular coastal drives.

Start your journey in Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula and discover beautiful beaches, great eateries, a fascinating heritage and an enormous range of recreational opportunities from fishing and golfing to diving and surfing. Take in the colourful and lively ambience of bayside Geelong, Victoria's second largest city, or visit quaint Queenscliff and discover the town's rich maritime history, excellent restaurants and heritage hotels.

Along the coast, seaside resort towns such as Lorne and Apollo Bay are the perfect base for a seaside escape. They offer stunning beaches and water sports as well as some of Australia's best rainforest scenery in the nearby Otway Ranges.

One of the most visited stretches of the road is Port Campbell. Buffeted by wild seas and fierce winds, the coastline around Port Campbell has been sculpted over millions of years to form a series of striking rock stacks that rise out of the Southern Ocean. Known as the Twelve Apostles, they are one of the most spectacular natural attractions in Victoria.

The Great Ocean Road region also has a rich maritime past. Historic towns such as Warrnambool, Port Fairy and Portland allow you to enjoy seafaring village life, with their fishing wharves, beautifully preserved colonial buildings and maritime museums recounting the stories of ships that have foundered off the rugged shipwreck coast.

Hi rozbie! Thanks for asking and I guess you like the music? This is an original piece we had written for our videos. In fact all our videos have original music in them.

Have you watched the Banff video yet? The music in this one is my favourite!

@TheBlackParade01x it is, but it's a really long road take your time and you can spend at least 3 days traveling from Melbourne on The Great Ocean RD to The Grampians and back. It's worth seeing - just a tip stop at Kenneth River and see the koalas and feed the parrots :)

I'd love to hit the road and explore that beautiful area but if I did I would die.

You fine people drive on the wrong side of the road, while sitting on the wrong side of the car. But seriously, it is beautiful.

Ohhhh, noooo :( I guess the only thing I can do now is to listen to the first 10 seconds of it over and over again ;(
