- The first time we rented a campervan and took the Great Ocean Road all the way to Port Fairy from where we turned inland, to see the Grampians.
- There are lots of ways to enjoy The Great Ocean Road. Whilst some of them do involve walking and stairs, there are plenty of other options.
- This is the next stop on our Great Ocean Road itinerary. The Twelve Apostles are the most famous rock formations on the Great Ocean Road.
- At the start of the Great Ocean Road, around 130 km out of Melbourne, you'll find the Memorial Arch which includes the historic Great Ocean Road Sign.
- Torquay is the first recommended stop if you are driving to the Great Ocean Road from Melbourne (about 100 km, 1h20 drive from the city).
- The London Arch, formerly known as the London Bridge, is a popular stop on the Great Ocean Road. The arch was once connected but collapsed in 1990.
- Along the Great Ocean Road and seaside you will find a row of cute coffee shops, restaurants and pubs with outdoors seating space.
- If you are visiting Melbourne City in Victoria for the first time, be sure to include the Great Ocean Road drive in your travel itinerary.
- The nearest major city is Melbourne and it’s a popular day or side trip from there (it’s where we visited from). The Great Ocean Road drive is 243km (151 miles) long.
- A timeframe of three days or longer is ideal to drive the Great Ocean Road, as there are so many rock formations and lovely seaside towns to see.
