Driving the Great Ocean Road

The Great Ocean Road: A Unique Holiday Destination

Whether it is your first or fiftieth visit to the Great Ocean Road, welcome! Unique in its ability to satisfy any holidaymaker’s idea of a good time, the Great Ocean Road is the perfect place to visit all year round. We are certain that you will love our part of this coastal icon.

Located in the south-western region of Victoria, Australia, the Great Ocean Road spans over 200 kilometres, with around half of this in the Geelong Otway Region. This region is divided into four main parts: Geelong, The Bellarine, the Surf Coast, and the Otways Region.

Visit Great Ocean Road is the official website of the Geelong Otway Region of the Great Ocean Road.

Visitors to the road are treated to some of Australia’s most spectacular scenic routes from which the world-renowned historic site “Twelve Apostles” can be seen, the infamous surf of Bells Beach can be braved, and a delectable drop of Geelong wine can be sampled from any of the 52 wineries in the region. > read more

Unique Experiences

Where else can you experience the waterfalls and rainforests of the Otway Ranges, volcanic lakes at Lake Corangamite, and indigenous wildlife of the You Yangs or Brisbane Ranges? Hike or walk along trails, pitch a tent at a camping ground, or even pick berries when in season – the choice is yours.

Some of the finest restaurants are located in the towns along the Great Ocean Road. Cafes in coastal resorts such as Lorne, Torquay, Queenscliff, Apollo Bay and Geelong provide a relaxed, yet vibrant vibe and local festivals are scheduled throughout the year.

History & Culture

History and culture remain at home along the Great Ocean Road. Towns such as Queenscliff, with its magnificent fort, quaint historic buildings, museums, and renovated heritage railways are a beautiful place to stop for a few hours, days, or even weeks!

Perhaps sports and watersports, adventure activities, and theme parks are more your style? The Great Ocean Road has got it covered!

Probably the most understated reason why the Great Ocean Road is so great is the people. Friendly locals are just waiting to show you what the Great Ocean Road really has to offer…underneath that breathtaking exterior, of course.
