Great Ocean Road is pretty much Australia’s version of California’s Pacific Coast Highway but more majestic and scenic. It’s a 3.5 hour drive from Melbourne to the 12 Apostles. Of course that’s not accounting for spots along the way.

It’s a fun day trip people usually take while in Melbourne as there are multiple famous tourist attractions to see. Australia has some of the most beautiful beaches and landscapes in the world. Here are some sites that will take your breathe away:
- Torquay Beach
Torquay Beach - Split Point Lighthouse
Split Point Lighthouse - Apollo Bay
Apollo Bay - Loch Ard Gorge
Loch Ard Gorge - Gibson Steps

With those stops, it could be an all day adventure especially due to Australia’s speed limit. However, it’s well worth the drive. Plus it’s only a few hours from Melbourne.
