Extensive Information on Great Ocean Road to get you Going

Stretching between the cities of Torquoy and Warrnambool, Great Ocean Road is a 243-km stretch of road constructed as a memorial to soldiers killed in the First World War. Easily regarded as one of Australia’s most scenic coastline drives, Great Ocean Road has always received rave reviews from tourists across the world.

This splendid coastline offers breathtaking views of the Bass Strait and Southern Ocean. If you are someone who loves water sports or enjoys lazing around in the sun, Great Ocean Road is the perfect holiday destination for you. The road’s speed limit varies from 80 km/h (50 mph) to 100 km/h (62 mph) out of urban areas. However, the sharp curves that adorn Great Ocean Road make it difficult to maintain those speeds. There are speed cameras at intervals to govern speed limits along the road. Considered as one of the most fascinating coastline stretches in the world, Great Ocean Road is home to attractions such as the world-famous Twelve Apostles, Otways Rainforest, Bells Beach, and Surf Coast, etc. As you drive along this road, you will come across many impressive waterfalls that are sure to lure you for a short break. Erskine Falls – a must-visit spot – is a 15 minute drive inland from Lorne.

Between Apollo Bay and Gellibrand Lower, the road passes through the Great Otway National Park, which is home to some of the last surviving temperate rainforests in the south of Australia. Also, do make it a point to visit Kennett River, a popular spot for koala spotting. A walk at Mait’s Rest offers spectacular views of tree-ferns and Myrtle Beeches. The Melba Gully State Park at Lavers Hill includes a 40-minute walk through tree ferns, Myrtle Beeches, Australian Blackwoods, and beautiful river cascades. At night time, you can spot thousands of Arachnocampa glow-worms with a spotlight.

From multi-cuisine restaurants to small-time cafes, and plenty of accommodation options, the Great Ocean Road offers everything that makes it an ideal getaway for travellers in the city of Melbourne. Take a Break, a premier online travel portal in Australia, provides detailed Great Ocean Road reviews that will help tourists plan their sojourn to this beautiful destination.
