Exploring Sydney Town and experiencing the Blue Mountains before hugging the Victorian Coastline for miles on end, the Great Ocean Road is simply stunning. Ideal for self-drive touring, you can take this iconic road at your own pace: pull over to spot koalas in the trees, pause for coffee & cake at historic seaside towns, and marvel at shipwrecks along the way -  this is an extraordinary journey you'll never forget.

Laid-back seaside towns, soft white sands, endless beaches and national parks brimming with wildlife: so many attractions await you on the beautiful coastal route between Sydney and Melbourne. Watch whales at Jervis Bay, go bushwalking at rugged "Wilsons Prom", see Phillip Island's penguins and soak up dramatic scenic views along the way.
