One of Victoria's most scenic drives, the Great Ocean Road is a magnificent three-day self-drive touring route from surf capital Torquay to the iconic 12 Apostles, ending at historic fishing village Port Fairy.
Starting from Melbourne, it's an easy drive taking you along cliff tops and beaches and through lush rainforest. Along the way, spot koalas, kangaroos and even whales. Zip-line your way through a treetop canopy, climb to the peak of a volcanic crater, and relax over regional dining atop a cliff or by the beach.
Most importantly, take the time to stop at the lookouts and watch out for wildlife. It'll be worth it.
