What are the tourist attractions on the Great Ocean Road?

The Great Ocean Road has the following tourist attractions:

The Twelve Apostles

The Twelve Apostles are located about 220 kilometers southwest of Melbourne. Located on the southern coast of Victoria, about 320 kilometers long, it was built by the Australian government to commemorate the soldiers who died in World War I.

The Twelve Apostles are located on the coastline of Port Campbell National Park on the Great Ocean Road. They are 12 rock cliffs that have been gradually formed by the weathering of seawater from tens of millions of years of limestone, sandstone and fossils. The independent rocks standing in the blue ocean have different shapes. Because their number and shape resemble the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, they are nicknamed "Twelve Apostles Rocks".

Otway National Park

The Great Otway National Park starts in the valley behind Lorne and has rich and diverse forest resources and many Dotted with beautiful creeks and waterfalls, the Great Ocean Road showcases the diversity of nature, from rainforests and rivers to ancient volcanoes and rugged coastlines. Here you can admire thundering waterfalls and pearlescent canyons, majestic caves and ancient limestone towers.

London Bridge

London Bridge is a weathered boulder. It turns out that the rock is a promontory that protrudes from the sea and connects the land. Two round holes were formed due to the erosion of the waves. It happens to be a double arch, so it is named "London Bridge". In the evening of January 15, 1990, the round hole connected to the land suddenly collapsed and separated from the mainland to form the broken bridge we see now.

Lock Ard Canyon

The most beautiful place on the Great Ocean Road, there is a place where you can go down to the beach and watch the rocky landscape of the canyon up close. Loch Ard Gorge is not far from the Twelve Apostles. It is a coast with a steep structure. Sea water pours in from the gates formed by tall cliffs on both sides, forming a deep blue emerald pool.

Gibson Steps

Gibson Steps is a cliff trail along the Great Ocean Road coastline in Port Campbell National Park. It is thrilling enough to make your heart beat faster! When visiting, it is recommended that you go down the stone steps to the rough Gibson Beach. The beach is very windy and rough, so please pay attention to safety.
