Description
10 Iconic Stops & Brief Highlights and More
London Bridge – a famous natural rock arch on Australia’s Great Ocean Road. It was formed by long-term sea erosion. In 1990, its inner arch suddenly collapsed, trapping two tourists who were later saved by helicopter. Now it stands alone in the ocean as an iconic landmark.
Loch Ard Gorge – Stunning coastal gorge with dramatic cliffs and sea caves.
The Razorback – Iconic narrow rock formation with breathtaking ocean views.
The Twelve Apostles – Iconic limestone stacks off the Great Ocean Road, Australia’s most famous natural landmark. Formed over 20 million years by coastal erosion, only 8 remain today (down from 9 after a 2005 collapse). They are the top attraction on the Great Ocean Road and draw millions of visitors yearly.
Lunch will be served at Clean Cravings Eatery, located right next to Great Ocean Road Wildlife Park. With an outstanding Google rating of 4.9, this popular eatery offers fresh, quality meals in a casual setting.
Great Ocean Road Wildlife Park (At own expense: Adult $37, Child $25) – Boasting a 4.7/5 rating and over 1200 positive Google reviews, it is one of Great Ocean Road’s most popular native wildlife parks. Home to iconic Australian animals including koalas, kangaroos, wombats and emus in natural bushland, it offers daily professional feeding sessions and guided interactions for unforgettable photos with gentle native wildlife.
Wild Koala Spotting – Look for wild koalas in their natural tree-top habitat.
Great Otway National Park Pass By – Beautiful lush temperate rainforest scenery along the way.
Apollo Bay – Charming coastal town with a scenic beachfront.
Memorial Arch at Eastern View – Historic landmark marking the start of the Great Ocean Road.
