Memorial Arch as the backdrop. Dedicated to 3000 men attributed to the cause of
making the Great Ocean Road, this venue makes you take relaxed strolls through
some of the most beautiful beaches on the island-continent.

Kennett River

with cute looking koalas in the coastal precincts of Kennett River. With plenty
of opportunities galore for bird watching, trekking and indulging your senses
in the wilderness of the region, this stop is best visited for the famous
kookaburra. And yes, there are plenty of colourful parrots, lorikeets and other
native birds vying for your attention too!

Apollo Bay

menu options available at Illuka Restaurant in Apollo Bay– grilled fish/ roast

attractions of this famous town of the great ocean road.

Otway’s Rainforest 

As we drive through the Ottway National Park you. Feel like dwarf as you
see some of the tallest trees on the planet; say “wow” to the scenery with
the Otway Ranges set amidst giant ferns and rare plant life;  or simply get stunned by the views of the beautiful Cape Otway beyond. 

12 Apostles

Get ready to witness and be enthralled by the rugged splendour
of the highlight of your day’s trip—the 12 Apostles. These magnificent rocks
rise majestically on Victoria’s dramatic coastline and
dominate the Southern Ocean with their beautiful limestone forms. You may
choose to fly over the Twelve Apostles (time and weather permitting) too –all
it costs is an extra $ 195 AUD for an ecstatic chopper ride. Go for it!

Loch Ard Gorge

The panoramic views of Port Campbell are definitely a “must-see”. Take a walk under the shadows of towering limestone cliffs; click pictures of the inspiring Archway; explore the Dumpling Pots and  The Razorback; or delve in the romantic tales of Australia’s much talked about shipwreck….
