    Teddy's Lookout is one of the best along the Great Ocean Road. It provides stunning vistas from its platform high above the coast where the St George River empties into a small cove. Access off the Great Ocean Road at the end of George Street, then take a short walk through the bush from the car park.
    Experience the 12 Apostles
    These soaring pillars, which have been chiselled out of limestone over 10 to 20 million years, are the highlight of the Great Ocean Road. Stop at Teddy’s Lookout along the craggy cliffs to admire the famed sea stacks, which tower above the ocean.
    Split Point Lighthouse
    cated on a 130-foot cliff on the rocky coast of Lake Superior, Split Rock Lighthouse is an intact 1910 light station that guided ships across the often stormy waters of western Lake Superior. T
    Get your roadtrip off to a leisurely start on the drive from Melbourne to Torquay, just over an hour away. Home to some of Australia's best-known surf beaches, Torquay marks the official beginning of the Great Ocean Road. Discover the region's rich surf culture at Australian National Surfing Museum before exploring the waves at Bell's Beach, host of the annual Rip Curl Pro international surf competition.
    As you make your way to Apollo Bay, you'll travel along cliff tops with incredible views and alongside wild beaches - take time to stop at the various scenic lookouts for photos, or step down onto the beach for a stroll.
    From Apollo Bay, follow the Great Ocean Road into the lush Great Otway National Park, and turn off to the Cape Otway Lightstation (about a 50-minute drive) - the oldest surviving lighthouse in mainland Australia. Climb to the top, 90 metres above sea level, to glimpse the meeting point of Bass Strait and the Southern Ocean.
    Back on the Great Ocean Road, ready your camera(phone) for the spectacular coastline leading to Port Campbell and the famous 12 Apostles - magnificent rock stacks rising up from the Southern Ocean. Descend Gibson Steps to the windswept beach for a rewarding encounter up close with the 12 Apostles. Don't miss the lookouts over the cliffs at Loch Ard Gorge and, just beyond Port Campbell, the hauntingly beautiful Bay of Islands. For the best views of this beguiling coastline, take to the skies on a helicopter tour. Unforgettable.
    The Great Ocean Road is an Australian National Heritage-listed 240-kilometre (150 mi) stretch of road along the south-eastern coast of Australia, between the Victorian towns of Torquay and Allansford.
    The road runs through rainforests, as well as alongside beaches and cliffs composed of limestone and sandstone, which are susceptible to erosion. The road travels via Anglesea, Lorne, Apollo Bay, and Port Campbell, the latter being notable for its natural limestone and sandstone rock formations, including Loch Ard Gorge, The Grotto, London Arch (formerly London Bridge) and The Twelve Apostles.The stretch of the Great Ocean Road nearer to Torquay closely follows the coast, with some sheer cliffs on the seaward side. Road signs warn motorists of possible rockfalls.
