A One-Day Self-Driving Tour on the Great Ocean Road in Melbourne, Australia: Capture Every Moment

I planned a one-day self-driving tour with a group of friends to the Great Ocean Road in Melbourne, Australia. This was an unforgettable journey. The Great Ocean Road is famous for its magnificent coastline and natural scenery, and I was eager to explore this beautiful land even before we set off. Located on the southeastern coast of Victoria, Australia, the Great Ocean Road stretches about 243 kilometers. Through the car window, you can see long stretches of beach, with the blue sea contrasting sharply with the golden sand. The waves crash against the shore, creating a pleasant sound. Next, we arrived at the famous Twelve Apostles. These towering rock formations stand in the sea like natural sculptures, showcasing the grandeur and power of nature. Later, we reached Apollo Bay, a charming small town with beautiful beaches and a relaxed atmosphere. I had lunch at a local Chinese restaurant, the only one open because we arrived late for lunch. 🍚 After lunch, we headed to the coast of Apollo Bay! Walking along the coast, our steps were accompanied by the sound of the waves, feeling the gentle touch of the sea on the sand. Next, we visited the Great Ocean Road Memorial Arch, a landmark that attracts countless tourists. Finally, we arrived at the Cape Otway Lightstation, a cute lighthouse perched on a spectacular coastline, making it a highlight of the Great Ocean Road and a great spot for photos.

The world's most beautiful coastal road | Classic must-play travel route

Presumably, it is the first checkpoint for many people to visit Melbourne, and it is easy to reach the Great Ocean Road from Melbourne. Our itinerary follows the coastal road, and we drove and played for more than 6 hours until we reached the Twelve Apostles. The Great Ocean Road is about 1-1.5 hours' drive from Melbourne (about 75 kilometers). The Great Ocean Road can be said to be a paradise for nature lovers, with spectacular coastlines and dense tropical rainforests intertwined. Along this road, you can easily capture various Instagram-worthy scenery. Route: Great Ocean Road Memorial Archway - Split Point Lighthouse - The Grotto - Gibson Steps - Twelve Apostles and many other attractions that I can't remember. I heard that the rocks of the Twelve Apostles are slowly disappearing, so I really really have to go once in my lifetime.

Truly the Great Ocean Road

Getting There - Head southwest from the city of Melbourne. Follow along the ocean road highway. Attractions - Tons! Bells Beach Lookout, Point Addis Beach, Anglesea Beach, Twelve Apostles, Childers Cove. Hotels - Seafarer’s Getaway (refer to one of my earlier posts about it) This is a must-visit activity when visiting Melbourne. We rented a car from Jucy and just drove along the great ocean road highway. There are tons of places to stop along the way with amazing views of the ocean and geographical landmarks. Many people surf along some of the beaches here. And on some occasions, you’d be able to see whales at some of the lookout points! #tripblazers #beachlife #australia

Gibson steps

#celebratewithtrip the next stop of my great ocean road road trip was actually the Gibson steps. it can be quite tiring as there were a lot of stairs to reach to the destination and climbing all the way down would also mean that you will have to climb up again to reach your original place of arrival. nevertheless the view was really pretty and fabulous and you can take very nice pictures over here. would highly recommend to come here if you have the chance during your road trip. you can take plenty of memorable pictures here and do note it can be quite sandy so you might want to remove your shoes for more comfort.

Apollo Bay Staycation

Had the most amazing stay at apollo bay with Seafarers Getaway. Imaging having a bbq, with great food, wine and an amazing view of the ocean and the sunset. It was just breathtaking. Apollo bay was also just a 10mins drive away with great food especially the fish(Barramundi) and chips. Seafarers Getaway is also approx a 45-60mins drive to the popular great ocean road and also to the famous otway rainforest where you can catch glowworm at night. We also get to feed the lamas right before check-in and also seeing them grazing the grass early in the morning! This is a place that I would definitely come back. #seafarers #greatoceanroad #victoria #seaview #vacation #views #sunset #bbq #relaxation #roadtrip #ocean #oceanview

#tripaway Most of people taught tower bridge is London bridge but it wasn’t true. London bridge is on the left side and tower bridge is on the right side from London Bridge station. At London bridge, you may see the shard, tower bridge and other buildings. It was a nice experience to see the red double decker bus passing by us on the bridge. #tripaway

The weathered boulder turned out to be so beautiful. The shipwreck coast & London Bridge Great Ocean Road, which cannot be missed by the Great Ocean Road, is located in the southwest of Melbourne. It is a coastal road in Australia with a total length of nearly 300 kilometers. With beaches, cliffs and forests, hundreds of miles of roads are breathtaking and beautiful. The Great Ocean Road is known as the most beautiful coastal road in the world. It has also been listed by countless travel enthusiasts. in. Twelve Apostles is the most well-known scenic spot on the Great Ocean Road. Many people drive the Great Ocean Road and look back after seeing the twelve disciples. This is a pity. In fact, there are still many things to watch on the Great Ocean Road. This is especially recommended for the Shipwreck Coast and London Bridge. Shipwreck Coast: It is only about 10 minutes drive from the Twelve Apostles. As its name suggests, there have been more than 80 shipwrecks, large and small, due to the rush of the terrain. The most widely known of them was a British immigrant ship named "Loch Ard" on the way to Melbourne in June 1878. In the case of death, 52 people were killed and only 2 were still alive. Today, visitors can walk along the canyon to the beach, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the canyon, blue sky and white clouds, the blue sea, the sun shines like a jade-like luster, strolling on the soft sand, imagining not So many lives have fallen here. London Bridge: The London Bridge is also a weathered boulder. Due to the erosion of the waves, two round holes are formed, which are double arched and look like a stone bridge. Perhaps it was exiled to Australia. In order to ease the feelings of homesickness, the British were named "London Bridge". The London Bridge on the Great Ocean Road In the evening of January 1, 1990, the circular hole connected to the land suddenly collapsed and separated from the mainland, so the London Bridge we are seeing is actually a broken bridge in London. The sea breeze on the edge of the London Bridge is extremely ferocious and the wind is particularly large. In addition to the summer, the spring and autumn and winter should pay attention to the cold and warm.

Last September, I went to Australia because I saw a special offer for flights: [Chengdu to Melbourne, direct, tax included, CNY 3,200]. I immediately asked my friend to go with me, applied for a visa, and realized my dream of driving along the Great Ocean Road. The most important thing about this trip to Australia was driving along the Great Ocean Road! I love road trips, I'm obsessed with the scenery along the way, and I want to collect every sunset. Because my flight was to and from Melbourne, I took a circular route, unlike other guides that go directly from south to north or north to south. 🧳Route: Melbourne - Great Ocean Road (Penguin Island - Apollo Bay - Twelve Apostles) - back to Melbourne - Gold Coast (by plane) - drive to Brisbane - back to Gold Coast - Sydney (by plane) - Melbourne (by plane) I booked all my hotels on Trip.com!

Melbourne Road trip

On the nature front, we have the great ocean road with numerous attractions along its path, 12 apostles, Apollo Bay just to name a few. Winery is an understatement and pretty good whites in the regions. Food wise, one can enjoy the yummy Western style to Asian delights.

Driving the Great Ocean Road was a breathtaking journey along one of the world’s most scenic coastal routes. The iconic Twelve Apostles, towering limestone stacks rising from the ocean, were awe-inspiring. I stopped at charming coastal towns, explored the lush Otway Rainforest, and marvelled at the rugged beauty of Loch Ard Gorge. The winding road offered stunning views at every turn, from dramatic cliffs to pristine beaches. The blend of natural wonders and serene landscapes made this road trip truly unforgettable.

Decided to try caravan this time and it was amazing. My family loves it. This is something we won’t get to do back home. Had a wonderful time and it definitely worth doing it all over again. Not to mention the campsite too. Is nice, clean and safe to stay in. Staffs are very friendly and approachable. Will definitely visit it again. #australia #melbourne #apollobay #caravanholiday

Stevensons Falls

#australiatrip Beautiful fall. Great spot for photos and exercise. When we went there, there were lots of families so this is definitely a place for families to go. Just a reminder there is parking fees of $3, but it is for a good cause, I think it contributes to the construction of the park.This place is beautiful! As soon as you walk into the entrance there’s a lot of picnic tables and chairs which was good! Good for a day trip or spend the night at the campsite just around the corner from the Waterfall. There are also toilets at the main entrance, plus you can swim at the waterfall too. Nice cold, fresh water!

8 Must-Visit Attractions on the Great Ocean Road

1. Little Red Riding Hood Lighthouse: The lighthouse itself is quite ordinary, but the viewing platform behind it offers the most beautiful scenery. The long coastline stretches to the horizon, shrouded in mist, blending the sea and sky into one. - 2. Teddy’s Lookouts: This is a viewing platform located at the top of Lorne town. From here, you can overlook the winding coastal road of the Great Ocean Road, which clings to the mountains like a jade belt around a maiden's waist. It's breathtakingly beautiful, and if you're lucky, you might even spot whales. It's worth mentioning that you must take the road from the beginning of the town; otherwise, the slope is too steep for most vehicles to climb. - 3. Koala Cafe: Located between Lorne and Apollo Bay, it's not the cafe itself that's the attraction but the koalas and kangaroos you can find here. Known as Little Switzerland, you can find all sorts of wildlife along the riverside. - 4. Marriner Lookout: This is a privately donated viewing point where you can see the entire Apollo Bay town, which looks like a trident. It's a fantastic spot for photos, and some visitors say this is the pinnacle of the Great Ocean Road. - 5. Mait's Rest Rainforest: This was once a habitat for dinosaurs and served as a resting place for horses during wartime. The towering trees and giant ferns, with sunlight filtering through the gaps, make you feel like you're on the set of Avatar. - 6. Twelve Apostles: This attraction needs no introduction. Visitors come here to count if there are really twelve rocks. In fact, there aren't, and there never were. The original name was Sow and Piglets, but it was changed for a better story and a more appealing name. - 7. Loch Ard Gorge: This area feels even more impressive than the Twelve Apostles, especially in the afternoon when the sun is out. The various rock formations carved by the sea are concentrated here, making it incredibly spectacular. - 8. The Grotto: This place features a circular cave with unique limestone terrain. The view from the cave entrance, looking out at the sea and sky, is truly a sight to behold. Perhaps this is where the phrase 'a world within a world' comes from.

The Twelve Apostles

🔶Traveling along the Great Ocean Road, you will experience a spectacular and beautiful coastal highway. The scenery along the Southern Ocean is desolate and beautiful, with sea breezes blowing and the road winding between seaside cliffs, flanked by lush countryside. Besides the Twelve Apostles, there are many other attractions worth visiting along the Great Ocean Road, such as Loch Ard Gorge, Kennett River, and the town of Lorne, each corner offering unforgettable hiking and biking trails. 💥Travel Tips 🌀Best Viewing Time: The Twelve Apostles are particularly enchanting at dusk under the sunset, but be mindful of the sunset time to ensure you have enough time to return. 🌀Clothing Advice: Due to the variable coastal climate, it is recommended to wear clothing suitable for all weather conditions, including windproof jackets and comfortable shoes. 🌀Safety Tips: At viewpoints and beaches, please follow safety instructions, avoid getting close to cliff edges, or approaching the water during high waves. 🔶The Twelve Apostles are not only a natural wonder along the Great Ocean Road but also a unique natural heritage of Australia. Whether you are a photography enthusiast, a nature explorer, or a visitor seeking tranquil beauty, you should seize the opportunity to experience this masterpiece of nature in person. 🔶Here, you can not only appreciate the grandeur of nature but also feel the passage of time and the greatness of natural forces.

Apollo Bay The Great Ocean Road is indeed the most beautiful coastal road in the world. The hotel in Apollo Bay is so photogenic. It feels like I've taken a lifetime photo.

Took the photo of my life on the Great Ocean Road! (With Tesla self-driving guide)

I went to the Great Ocean Road three times before I took the perfect foggy photo!! 2 days and 1 night on the Great Ocean Road, I experienced sunny weather, fog, strong wind, and heavy rain. The weather on the Great Ocean Road is really unpredictable!! It's because of the unpredictable weather that makes the 276-kilometer Great Ocean Road more fun to drive. · The most beautiful shooting spot on the Great Ocean Road is Gibson Steps! Gibson Steps! Gibson Steps! I have to say it three times. Walking down the Gibson Steps, you can see the big rocks and watch the sunset on the beach. It's only a few minutes' drive from the Twelve Apostles lookout. There are fewer people in the morning and at sunset. Whether you can encounter the right fog depends on your luck~ · Self-driving route reference D1: Depart from Melbourne - Charge in Geelong - Split Point Lookout - Apollo Bay - Marriners Lookout - Gibson Steps - 12 Apostles - Stay in Port Campbell, all along the coastline D2: Port Campbell - London Bridge - Bay of Islands - Charge in Warrnambool - Return to Melbourne inland · The weather really determines the watchability of the Great Ocean Road. The weather was great on the first day, sunny all the way, and there was fog at sunset, which made every photo look good. It rained on the second day, and the wind was so strong that I was in a mess. I had to leave the coastline in a hurry and wander around the farm near Warrnambool. I really like the farms in Australia, the cows are so cute. · Accommodation: There are quite a few towns where you can stay on the Great Ocean Road. Many tourists will stay in Apollo Bay. If you want to take pictures of the sunset at the Twelve Apostles, I suggest you stay in Port Campbell like I did. It's only a 10-minute drive from the Twelve Apostles and about 10 minutes from London Bridge. · Self-driving: I experienced driving a Tesla Model Y on the Great Ocean Road for everyone, and I really didn't have any range anxiety. The starting point of the Great Ocean Road, Geelong, and the end point, Warrnambool, both have Tesla's own superchargers. I set off from Geelong with a full charge and drove along the coastline, stopping and taking pictures along the way. When I arrived in Warrnambool, I still had 35% of the battery left. After charging, I drove back to Melbourne from the inland with 40% of the battery left. I only needed to charge twice for the round trip on the Great Ocean Road, and the supercharger was basically full within 40 minutes. At present, Model Y is still free to charge, I rented a Tesla to save fuel, but I didn't expect to save electricity, it's really great~ In addition to Geelong and Warrnambool, there are also 2 superchargers on the inland highway section, I remember they are in Cobden and Colac, ensuring that there is no range anxiety along the way~ Tesla car owners can rest assured to charge on the Great Ocean Road!
