For A Road Trip Of A Lifetime, Head Straight To The Great Ocean Road, Australia

One of the Best Drives on the Planet! The Great Ocean Road is on Australia's National Heritage list - stretching 243 kilometres along the south-eastern coast of Australia between the Victorian cities of Torquay and Allansford.

Built by soldiers who returned between 1919 and 1932 and dedicated to soldiers killed during World War I, the road has its fair share of jaw-dropping scenery! It is also the world's largest war memorial, winding through varying terrain along the coast and providing access to several prominent landmarks, including the Twelve Apostles limestone stack formations.

Apart from being the road to drive on, once in your lifetime - The Great Ocean Road is now also the hub for adventure sports of all types, from kayaking to scuba diving. That's not surprising!

#GLAadventure team hops off the cars to have some fun and soak in the beauty of The Great Ocean Road.

Just in case you are wondering what's the best time to visit this place - any time of the year is good to experience The Great Ocean Road.

One of the attractions of the Great Ocean Road is the jaw dropping view of 12 Apostles. The Twelve Apostles is a collection of limestone stacks off the shore of the Port Campbell National Park, in Victoria, Australia.

Now because of erosion you don't see all 12 Apostles.

Nature at its best! Team #GLAadventure was left awe-struck by the beauty of this place.

A picture is worth a thousand words! These massive limestone structures tower 45 metres above the ocean and were formed some 20 million years ago. Today there are only eight of these remaining and the rest have fallen. But nothing takes away from the magnificent backdrop set by these cliffs that rise up to 70 metres.

Natural Wonder #2: The Arch

This naturally sculptured arch stands 8 metres high, and is located 6km west of Port Campbell. The beauty of this place lies in viewing the ocean crashing in against the arch every single time.

More of the magnificent Arch!

Time for the 'I was here pic.'

Some more natural wonders, this one is called the London Bridge.

London Arch was formed by a gradual process of erosion, and originally was a complete double-span and attached to the mainland. It was formerly called the London Bridge before its freak collapse on January 15, 1990 that left two tourists stranded until they were rescued by a helicopter.

This is just the ideal place to feel overpowered by nature.

There are three separate viewing areas and the main path branches off to these at different intervals at the Great Ocean Road. You will find such warnings at every interval.
