If this is your first time on the Great Ocean Road 🌊 then you can refer to my two-day itinerary. My plan doesn’t include searching for wild koalas 🐨 or rainforest walks 🍃. ✨Day 1: Depart from Melbourne city 🚗 ⬇️ Geelong seaside town: The first stop is here to see the painted puppets 🪵 and experience the vibe of “Little California.” ⬇️ Anglesea: This beach is quite beautiful with many surfers 🏄, worth a quick look 👀. ⬇️ Red Hat Lighthouse: Another great photo spot and you can also take a walk along the coastline 🌊. ⬇️ Great Ocean Road Memorial Arch: Stop for a photo; if you don’t want people in the shot, you don’t have to get out of the car. ⬇️ Lorne town: Have lunch here, I recommend Totti's 🍴—it’s really delicious 😋. After eating, you can stroll around the town. ⬇️ Teddy Lookout: A viewpoint in Lorne town where you can see the coastline and the coastal road. ⬇️ Kennett River cafe koala: Here you can look for wild koalas in the trees 🐨. ⬇️ Apollo Bay Marriner Lookout: A viewpoint overlooking the whole town and sea view—definitely a must-visit!!! ⬇️ Check into a hotel in Apollo Bay. Popular hotels and B&Bs must be booked in advance. If you can’t get a reservation, I recommend staying in town for convenient dining and shopping 🉑. ✨Day 2: Breakfast at the popular scallop pie bakery 🍞. Personally, I found the taste average and a bit fishy ❌. ⬇️ Maits Rest Forest: You can take a rainforest walk here 🍃. ⬇️ The Twelve Apostles: I heard going in the afternoon causes backlighting, making photos less attractive. But when we went in the morning, the clouds were too thick; the blue sky only appeared at noon. I guess it depends on luck. ⬇️ Gibson Steps: When we went, it was closed, but now it’s open 🉑. You can get close to the rocks and go down to the beach. Definitely worth visiting. ⬇️ Loch Ard Gorge ⬇️ Campbell Port: Have lunch here. We chose 12 Rocks Beach Bar Cafe ☕️, but the taste was average ❌. ⬇️ London Bridge ⬇️ The Grotto: Our last stop. I highly recommend going down the stairs to see the sea cave. It’s a unique and special view 💯. ⬇️ Start the return trip back to Melbourne city. The scenery along the way is also quite nice, with haystack pastoral views somewhat reminiscent of Inner Mongolia. The two-day self-driving trip is very relaxed and enjoyable 😌. I recommend everyone arrange a two-day Great Ocean Road itinerary if time allows—no need to rush, just leisurely enjoy the beautiful scenery 🌊.

Some absolutely gorgeous locals let us know about a secret little secluded beach we could visit in Amlwch!! We parked up and headed through a field, to the cliff edge where we spotted some steps going downhill. Once we got to the bottom we could see the little beach where the rocks shielded us from wind. Lovely for a little swim, and you can follow the cliff round for a wonderful view 🌞 🌊 📍: Head for the Pen Garnedd car park and continue through the field to the right. ♿️♿️: Free car parking although the walk through the field and down to the beach is uneven and unsteady in places. There is a metal rail which you can help to use when navigating the stairs. There are also steps down to the beach, or a small scramble so this destination may not be accessible for all. Make sure to wear good shoes!! #naturalwonders #staycation #camping #campervanadventures #thingstodo #myitinerary #seascapes

Australia Melbourne Great Ocean Road The Twelve Apostles on the Sea Pristine Meadows Helicopter Ultimate Great Ocean Road Adventure Guide | The Twelve Apostles, Pristine Meadows, and Skyline Cruise This coastal road winding between the Southern Ocean and the Otway Ranges is a natural epic dedicated to the brave. The Twelve Apostles are its climax, the pristine meadows its breath, and the helicopter the key to unlocking its full grandeur. 🌊 Core Experience: The Trinity of Awe The Twelve Apostles - Sea Monuments Limestone pillars standing amid the raging Southern Ocean, masterpieces carved by time and sea. In fact, there have never been twelve simultaneously, but the name "Apostles" gives them a sacred solitude. Light and shadow reshape their appearance every moment. Pristine Meadows and Temperate Rainforest - The Breath of the Earth Extending inland from the sea cliffs are rolling pristine meadows and ancient Otway temperate rainforests. This is home to koalas, kangaroos, and countless birds, the gentle green behind the wild coastline. Helicopter Tour - God's Perspective Only from the air can you truly grasp the scale of the Great Ocean Road and the layout of its geological wonders. It is the only way to connect fragmented beauty into a complete picture. 📍 In-depth Landscape Interpretation and Experience Guide Part One: The Apostles at Sea — Pilgrimage from Ground and Air Ground View (Gibson Steps) Experience: Descend 86 steps to stand directly on the beach looking up at the towering rock pillars. Feel the waves lapping at your feet and the smallness of humans before nature’s creation. Best Time: Sunrise or evening (after tour groups leave), when the light slants and the rocks glow golden. Aerial View (Helicopter Tour) Why You Must Fly: Full Layout: See all landmarks at once — the Twelve Apostles, London Arch, Loch Ard Gorge, and more. Discover Hidden Beauty: Observe the folds of the coastline, color differences of underwater reefs, and the fascinating boundary where rainforest meets the sea. Ultimate Impact: Hover above the Apostles, see the vegetation on top and the wave-eroded bases, and experience an unparalleled visual shock. Flight Options: Classic Short (15 minutes): Covers the Twelve Apostles and surroundings, best value. In-depth Long (30-60 minutes): Fly west to London Arch or east over Apollo Bay for panoramic views. Part Two: The Green Wonderland — Walks through Meadows and Rainforest Otway Fly Treetop Walk: Walk on a high steel bridge among the rainforest canopy, overlooking fern valleys from a "koala’s perspective," feeling the tranquility and ancientness of the temperate rainforest. Melba Gully or Mait’s Rest: Short, easy trails into moss-covered ancient rainforest, with possible firefly sightings at night. Along the Meadows: Near Johanna Beach or inland in Port Campbell National Park, rolling meadows often inhabited by kangaroos, perfect for picnics and photography. 🚁 Complete Helicopter Experience Guide Operators: Main companies are concentrated at the Twelve Apostles Heliport. Booking Tips: Book online well in advance, especially in peak season (December to February) and weekends. Check Weather: Flights are highly weather-dependent. Keep some flexibility; mornings usually have more stable weather. Seat Selection: The pilot’s side (usually left) offers the best view; you can request in advance but it’s not guaranteed. Safety and Preparation: Follow safety briefings and keep low when boarding. Use headphones for in-flight communication; the flight is smooth and noise is manageable. Wear dark clothing to reduce window reflections for better photos. 🗺️ Classic Itinerary (2-Day Highlights) Day 1: Melbourne -> Apollo Bay (about 3 hours by car) Morning: Pick up car in Melbourne and depart. Stop at Torquay (surfing capital) or Anglesea golf course to see wild kangaroos. Afternoon: Visit Lorne, hike Erskine Falls. Arrive in Apollo Bay by evening and stay in this charming seaside town. Along the way: Look for koalas at Kennett River and enjoy inland pastoral scenery. Day 2: Apollo Bay -> Twelve Apostles -> Return (Core of the trip) Morning: Cross Otway Rainforest and experience the treetop walk. Then head to the coast. Noon: Arrive at the Twelve Apostles Visitor Centre. Start with a helicopter tour to get an aerial overview. Afternoon: Descend Gibson Steps to the beach, then hike the main Twelve Apostles viewing platform to confirm the aerial views from different angles. Continue west to visit Loch Ard Gorge (Shipwreck Coast) and London Arch. Evening: Watch the sunset over the Twelve Apostles or Port Campbell, with golden light bathing the rocks — a spectacular sight. Then return (about 3 hours to Melbourne) or stay overnight in Port Campbell. 📌 Key Practical Information Transport: Self-driving is the only recommended way. Rent a car in Melbourne and drive along the B100 Great Ocean Road. The reverse route (starting inland on the A1 highway to the Apostles, then returning along the coast) can avoid peak tour crowds. Accommodation: Apollo Bay and Port Campbell are main lodging points. Book months in advance. Dining: Good restaurants in Port Campbell and Apollo Bay. Classic fish and chips in small towns along the way. Bring water and snacks. Best Time: Year-round. Spring (September-November) for wildflowers, autumn (March-May) for stable weather. Winter is windy but fewer tourists and occasional whale sightings. Safety: Never walk or climb over cliff edges or barriers. Be extremely cautious swimming; only swim in designated safe areas. Watch for kangaroos and other animals crossing roads; avoid long drives at dusk and night. The Great Ocean Road is not just a road but an immersive theater engaging all your senses. When your feet touch the icy water at Gibson Steps, your hands brush the millennia-old bark of the rainforest, and your eyes gaze from the helicopter window at the eternal Apostles—you read a magnificent diary of the Earth written by wind, rain, waves, and time.

A cosy garden-style café I found after my glamping trip. Sunlit glasshouse, great coffee, yummy treats, plus a mini local grocer, gift shop and plant nursery — all in one stop.

A lovely hidden gem in Anglesea. 🌿✨ #Anglesea #GreatOceanRoad #Cafe #HiddenGem #AustraliaTravel #PoppiesCafe #BrunchSpot

This was an interesting place with a mix of locals and tourists. Their breakfast bowls are really tasty! Sadly, it's impossible to get a free table on weekends and it's not possible to book a table either. Since the place is really crowded it's really loud and you don't really have much space either. Not the cheapest, but the breakfast bowls are worth it. I would recommend going there on weekdays because it's a rather stressful experience on weekends. The coffee is alright, nothing to brag home about. If you can find a table it might be worth a visit. #australiatrip #goodfoods #familytravel
The tour to Great Ocean Road was taken by the guide named Vance who is frequent with both English and Chinese. Since I only speak English and Japanese, it was helpful that guide can speak English too.The tour was operated quite strictly about time, so the tour went so smoothly than I expected.In the tour, you don’t need to worry about the problem of language because the guide always left the paper which show what time you should come back to bus.The guide Vance is kind and funny, and I really enjoyed his guide and recommendation.And I really enjoyed the beautiful view and it was stunning!!!!
I•YVisiting Split Point Lighthouse was an unforgettable experience. The stunning views from the top made every step of the climb worthwhile. The modest entry fee is well-justified by the breathtaking panorama and the immersive experience.The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories and history about the lighthouse, which added depth to the visit. While there are quite a few stairs to climb, there are resting points along the way, making it manageable for most people.After enjoying the views, we treated ourselves to scones and a drink at the charming tearooms, set in the old stables—a delightful way to relax and reflect on the visit. The Reuben sandwich was also a highlight, highly recommended for anyone looking for a satisfying bite.Split Point Lighthouse is a must-visit for its incredible vistas, rich history, and welcoming atmosphere. Perfect for a day out!
Exploring our one precious worldA pretty seaside town at the start of the Great Ocean Road. Nice beach. Excellent fish & chips, and the Anglesea Golf Course is a good place to see kangaroos .
Dr BPI'm here# The most famous attraction in Torquay It is known as one of the best surfing areas in Australia. Surfing must be based on natural conditions, so the wind must be strong and the waves must be high. We don't know how to surf. We are very satisfied to go out and watch the sea occasionally. We envy those who know how to surf.
D了个YLorne Beach is a super popular beach in Australia. The beach is really spotless, without a trace of pollution, and the sea water is also extremely blue. Because the weather was good, we also went out to sea.
