The Great Ocean Road is one of the attractions that you must visit when you are in Melbourne. Many will sign up for a day trip where the van or coach will drive you along the coastline for the whole day.
There are few stops that we made along the Great Ocean Road. You can even take a helicopter ride that will fly you down to the Apostles to have a closer look at them.
My favourite part of the Great Ocean Road is the Loch Ard Gorge. It was very beautiful.
There is a story on how Tom saved a lady by the name of Eva in a shipwreck. They were the only survivor but did not meet each other after the incident. Tom became a Captin eventually.
The Twelve Apostles are the main icons of the Great Ocean Road.
These giant rock are located at the Port Campbell National Park that extends from Princetown to Peterborough. |

|  | Grampians The Grampians National Park is one of the favourite attraction just 3hrs west of Melbourne.
Grampians offers peace and tranquility, magnificent scenery, climbs and walks, easy access to spectacular lookouts and features.
The walking tracks will lead to such magnificant lookouts such as the The Pinnacle, Mackeys Peak and Boronia Peak.
The coach also took us to Boroka and Reid's Lookouts which offers spectacular views across the ranges or township. |
