Great Ocean Road Tour: An Itinerary
Spanning across 243 kilometers that meanders along the south-western coast of Victoria is the Great Ocean Road, an Australian National Heritage site. It was built in 1919 by returning soldiers, made to commemorate the veterans who bravely fought during World War I. Here, the breathtaking sight of the ocean sprawls over the endless horizon as rocky cliffs rise up from the beach like artfully designed structures. Along the road, you will be able to spot charming towns, lush forest reserves, beautiful wildlife and of course, Victoria's best eats.The journey begins with a 90-minute drive from the center of Melbourne to reach highway B100. From there, buckle up — getting to the other end of your Great Ocean Road tour may take long, but you will never be bored. Prepare your camera for quick snapshots; the entire ride is truly Instagram-worthy, from the clear skies to the quaint fishing villages whose locals will keep you company during your much-needed stops.
