Winding along the wilderness of the Southern Ocean coast, southwest coast of Victoria, the Great Ocean Road is considered one of the most scenic drives in the world. From the craggy spires of the Twelve Apostles mountain range to the awe-inspiring waves of Bells Beach, this spectacular coastal route takes in everything from whale-spotting lookouts to historic ports, gushing waterfalls, and lush rainforests. The stretch between Melbourne and Adelaide is a popular road trip and can comfortably be done in five days. The route is an animal lover’s paradise, boasting a huge variety of fauna such as koalas, kangaroo, platypus, and glow worms. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the Australian National Surfing Museum, filled with everything from boards to all kinds of elements of surf culture.
