Great Ocean Road: Torquay to Portland

Arguably Australia's most famous and loved holiday drive, the Great Ocean Road stretches through the picturesque villages and brilliant beaches found along Victoria's stunning southern coastline.

The road starts at Torquay - home of the Rip Curl Pro and Sun Smart Classic, the most prestigious event on the professional surfing circuit.

From there, it starts a 300 kilometre run past some of the world's most breathtaking coastal scenery. The road heads along the shoreline from Anglesea, driving along the massive cliffs that hug the coast between Lorne and Apollo Bay.

It then weaves through the untouched rainforests of Otway National Park before returning to the coast, passing the renowned Twelve Apostles rock formations.

The road then stretches through to the historic coastal hamlets of Warrnambool and Portland, where you can sit by the surf and watch whales swim by.
