This also is one of the most beautiful days of driving, with all the winding and turning of the roads along the ocean.

The best Great Ocean Road tour is the Great Ocean Road Small-Group Ecotour from Melbourne which has nearly 4000 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!
12 Apostles is great no doubt - however if you have ONE WEEKEND you need to think about what it is you enjoy doing. Really. If it is purely sight seeing then by all means - drive baby drive. But the Great Ocean Road is a slow, winding road - and staring at the ocean is great, for a while. After 6 hours it gets kinda boring.Check Great Ocean Road Tours. 1. Teddy’s Lookout.
